My Project

My students live in a rural environment and need more hands-on experiences with technology and problem solving. Over half of our students come from economically disadvantaged households and we have immigrant students from Somalia and Mexico. The school library media center serves the important purpose of providing resources for our students and teachers. These STEM activities will provide the opportunity for students to build, create, and problem solve.

Students that have hands-on activities are excited to learn.

My middle school students have been asking for things for STEM activities in the library. The building blocks, puzzles and other activities will allow students to use their creativity during their free-time in the library.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than half of students from low‑income households
