Learning Through STEM

My students need Real-World STEM Challenge Kits to bring their learning to life.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jenkins's classroom raised $511

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are from the inner city. They are predominately African American and are surrounded by challenges every day. Many of my students are living in severe poverty. Their spirits long to be free and rejoice, which is exactly what STEM Projects do. Providing STEM Projects at the school gives access for the students to be a part of a positive, learning, team building and communication skills.

Despite the odds, my students find hope through doing STEM Projects.

I admire their creativity to invent new things. Given an opportunity, STEM Projects can help my students with academics and become productive members of society in the future.

My Project

These STEM Project kits will help bring the learning to life. The students will be able to become little scientist, investigators and engineers. The hands-on experience helps students to explore in an appropriate learning environment for small children. I have used videos to give the students the experience, however hands-on is life changing.

The Real World Stem Challenge Kit will help students think like scientist and engineers.

This will help students explore the design process. It will also help students plan, build and test their designs. Then, improve them until they are successful.

STEM Science Stations are packed with everything needed to work through the engineering process. They challenge students to think beyond paper and pencil test. The students will learn first hand, what to do and how to do it. This will bring excitement and joy to the children.
