My Project

My students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them. To nurture their love for learning, I want to bring LEGOs into our classroom to support hands-on STEM and STEAM education. LEGOs are more than just toys—they’re powerful tools that help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and engineering skills.

With LEGO sets, students will engage in meaningful, project-based learning that combines science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

They’ll design, build, test, and revise their own creations, making learning fun, interactive, and deeply impactful. This project will help spark innovation, encourage perseverance, and lay the foundation for future success in STEM fields.

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn through play, build with purpose, and discover the joy of creating something amazing—brick by brick!
