My Project

My students need new STEM materials for our learning lab. The bucket of K'nex we have has lots of broken miscellaneous pieces that I would love to upgrade. K'nex now has 2 age range kits which would be perfect for my classroom. The littles will enjoy creating with the Kids K'nex and I can't wait to see what my upper elementary students do with the huge K'nex classroom kit.

Many of my robots did not survive covid due to battery issues.

Having 3 new Indi robots will help students learn how to code and program.

Our marble maze center needs an upgrade and this set will be well used during STEM centers.

Thank you for your continued support for our learning lab.
