My Project

These building materials will give my kindergarten students first hand practice with STEM concepts of building and engineering. My students will use these materials weekly during science to explore building and problem solving. I believe that hands on experiences are essentials for young children to explore and solve problems. This project will give my student the opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will learn to work together and investigate in a way that is engaging, hands-on and FUN!

These STEM building materials will inspire lifelong learners of science and engineering.
