My Project

Hand2Mind are manipulatives to help support engagement with the help of getting scholars' hands and minds working together. They aim to support teachers, inspire scholars, engage parents, and champion learning by doing.

We all know coming back from COVID made things difficult especially when it comes to the classroom.

These materials are very important in helping individualize learning with the help of hands-on materials.

With the help of these materials, I will be able to make their learning more engaging in a way that they feel supported at the same time.
