My Project

We will be studying our brains and the connection to our feelings and emotions, the connections to how we grow and our brain grows.

These materials will let us have some hands on opportunities to actually build some models of brains and neurons and will incorporate some STEM activities into counseling lessons.

Another grade level is studying empathy and through various challenges students will design and build things that will help others with various challenges such as mobilility or ability to balance multiple objects. Students must have empathy to understand the problems faced, work with a group to design a solution and then with some of these materials build it.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
