My Project

I am an occupational therapist and work with my students on many skills, including improving their fine motor, visual motor, visual perceptual, and problem-solving skills. I try to make our therapy sessions fun and exciting by engaging in various STEM-based activities. These skills are the building blocks for being a successful learner. During COVID 19, many of my students learned remotely and had limited supplies and activities at home. By providing them with these materials, you will help them catch up on the skills they are lacking in due to the pandemic.

Children learn best through play, and so I try to make our therapy sessions fun and exciting by engaging in various hands-on activities.

STEM play is crucial because it encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity. These maze activities that I have selected will allow my students to learn and have fun simultaneously! Many of my students come from low-income homes and don't have these opportunities at home. These fidget cubes that I have chosen will allow my students to learn and improve various skills, in a fun and exciting way!
