My Project

My students are creative, curious, and full of big ideas! They love hands-on learning and figuring out how things work.

To bring engineering, literature, and community together, our STEM teacher and I are launching a school-wide project inspired by Iggy Peck, Architect.

After reading the book, each student will design and construct a custom building using our requested Birch Wood Cubes, various wooden blocks, and Elmer's Glue. Once built, the students will use Crayola Washable Paints to bring their architecture to life, and we will piece all the structures together into a collaborative master city!

Your support will give these young architects the hands-on tools they need to build, create, and collaborate.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
