My Project

This is my second year teaching STEM at my elementary school. Unfortunately, there is not a budget for the STEM program and I do not have a lot of supplies. These supplies will provide our students the opportunity to engage in hands-on, creative learning experiences that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, engineering, collaboration and team building. My students loved having STEM as a part of their rotations last year. They were always excited to learn and discover new things. Having these makerspace supplies such as the spoons, pipe cleaner, cups, straws, popsicle sticks etc. give my students a space to be creative, experiment, and design new things such as creating a catapult or building the tallest tower that can withstand the weight of a remote control. Magnetic blocks, Creative Straw STEM building toys, and the Stick and Ball Geometry kit will introduce my students to engineering 2D and 3D buildings or bridges and if it does not stay together they can see what did not work and how they can make improvements. The bins I requested would help keep all of these supplies tidy and organized.

My goal for this project is to simply enhance their STEM learning by incorporating makerspace activities to strengthen students' understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

I want to cultivate their creativity and encourage them to think outside the box and work on developing solutions to problems. I want to create a learning environment where students work together, share ideas, and communicate effectively. I want to provide students with practical skills that can be applied in various aspects of life and future careers.

What makes my students special is their boundless curiosity and willingness to take on challenges. They thrive in environments where they can experiment, make mistakes, and learn through hands-on experiences.
