Learning Through STEM

My students need STEM projects to help them think like scientists and engineers as they explore the STEM design process and solve problems.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shadbolt's classroom raised $506

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are wonderful, caring individuals. I have several that have challenges in the classroom with behavior and focus, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to learn. Each day my students overcome situations at home that would make most people want to crawl back into bed.

They come to school ready for a new day knowing that they are cared for, loved, and believed in by every adult in the school.

I want to share my love of learning with these children.

My Project

My students need Real-World STEM Challenge Kit, STEM Science Stations, Create-A-Path Magnetic Center, Engineer-A-Coaster to help them think like scientists and engineers as they explore the STEM design process and solve problems. These activities that are project-based, encourages collaborative problem solving and introduces STEM projects at a level that will be just right for my students! The activities come with a complete set of books and posters that will provide helpful background knowledge about the many different STEM projects. These are just the type of activities that will support college and career readiness within my students. The children will have to save a town from a flash flood, rescue a toy bear from a well and also guide a family across a bridge safely.

The STEM kit was developed in order to help children think like scientists and engineers as they explore the STEM design process and solve problems.

The students will have a hands on approach to plan, build and test their designs. If the designs are unsuccessful the first time, they will have the opportunity to improve their designs until they reach success. The STEM kit comes ready to use and the students will immediately be working through three exciting challenges. The STEM activities also come with detailed lesson plans that will make it easy to focus the students’ learning and to explain the STEM concepts behind each challenge. Along with the activities, the STEM kit also comes with career cards that will let the students apply what they are learning to the real world. I am excited to give my students the chance to explore and solve real world problems through hands-on learning. They will be actively engaged while learning valuable skills all with the help of these STEM project kits.
