My Project

The new school year is just around the corner, and my students are ready to dive into hands-on STEM learning that sparks creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration! To kick off the year with excitement and exploration, we need engaging STEM supplies.

These tools aren't just fun—they're powerful learning experiences.

With Bristle Bots, students will explore the basics of circuitry, engineering design, and motion in a playful, hands-on way. As they build their own tiny robots, they'll learn to problem-solve, test, and improve their designs like real engineers.

Our student-made weather station will take learning outside the classroom. Students will gather real-time weather data, analyze patterns, and connect what they learn in science class to the world around them. It’s an incredible opportunity for them to see how STEM applies to everyday life—and to practice real-world science and data collection.

With your support, we’ll start the school year with curiosity, creativity, and a strong foundation in STEM. These experiences will inspire students to see themselves as scientists, engineers, and innovators from day one.

Thank you for helping us build a bright and STEM-filled year!
