Help me give my students a hands on experience by exploring fossils and an engineering kit!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Mathew's classroom raised $330
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students have a rooted love for Science and Engineering. They love to inquire, engage in deep thought, and discover.
My school has a diversified population with many students who will thrive if they have hands on materials to explore with.
The STEAM tools will allow students to build, create and expand their thinking. They will be able to build structures based off of diagrams, design their own models, challenge their peers and have fun while exploring them all. Students receive a lot of structured, teacher directed time, so when they partake in these STEAM activities, their creative side of the brain develops even faster!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
