My Project

The requested marble runs, magnetic tiles, building blocks, and other resources are allowing kindergartners to use their imaginations while doing STEM. STEM teaches them to share, problem-solve, and use creative building techniques, all while having fun.

I aim to provide more materials so kindergarteners can have more hands-on experiences during STEM breaks.

These STEM breaks allow the students to learn and reset simultaneously.

Teaching young students like kindergarteners has been a great passion of mine. Seeing their faces light up when they do something enjoyable or memorable makes students stand out. During STEM break, those beautiful moments happen more often.
