Let's GLOW STEM Challenge!

Help me give my students blacklights and neon office supplies for an amazing Glow Day STEM Challenge!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Higgins's classroom raised $439

This project is fully funded

My Project

My 6th grade science students love a good STEM challenge! Using the engineering design process, my students will work through several stations as they solve a variety of STEM challenges.

Their problem-solving skills will really SHINE with this blacklight glow day!

The items I have requested will help set the scene for a day of fun and challenging activities. The positional black lights will shine the light on each neon challenge. Students will use neon notecards and sticker dots to build a paper tower. They will use neon straws to construct sturdy bridges. They will build structures with neon cups and glow sticks. The invisible ink pens will be used to solve puzzles and riddles with their teammates.
