Magnetic STEM Discovery

Help me give my students a magnetic marble run, magnetic gears, Brown Bear Magnetic Set, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Magnetic Set, and more for STEM exploration.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pearson's classroom raised $317

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our preschoolers love to build, explore, and experiment with all types of engineering materials. I would love to add a magnetic marble run, magnetic gears, Brown Bear Magnetic Set, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Magnetic Set, and more for STEM exploration in the Discovery and Engineering Centers! Our preschoolers can grow up to be scientists, engineers, mathematicians, or whatever else they want to be!

Exploring STEM in early childhood helps children develop problem-solving skills, communication capabilities, expand creativity, and encourages children to experiment, learn from failure, and find creative solutions.

Help our preschoolers nurture their engineering minds and use their STEM skills!
