My Project
These magnetic building sets and interlocking building sets will open the door to STEM exploration and fun, hands-on experiences in our kindergarten class. The students will plan, design, share, and explain their collaborative creations. The building sets will help build their imaginations and their creativity. They will use mathematical and engineering skills to create buildings, vehicles, and other cool structures that cannot only balance but also show stability and strength. This takes critical thinking skills, experimentation, and collaboration.
Students learn more by seeing, doing, and manipulating and I am confident these tools would enhance their learning experiences!
My students love hands-on activities and resources where they can engage in experiential learning with their peers.
My little engineers will delight in bringing their creative ideas to life.
I hope to motivate and inspire my students to engage in more STEM activities by adding more magnetic builders sets to their learning tools! Let's give them the foundation to pursue STEM in a fun, engaging, and challenging ways that promote a variety of skills and inquisition!
More than half of students from low‑income households
