My Project
I serve as a Future Ready Librarian at a new Title I middle school. We have about 1200 students, ranging from sixth grade to eighth grade, with over 72% coming from low-income backgrounds. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) projects are examples of project-based learning. STEM projects guide students in strengthening their inquiry, communication, and critical thinking skills. These activities also develops the student's creativity, collaboration and teamwork skills, confidence, innovation, motivation, perseverance, and risk-taking.
My students need access to a variety of STEM building activities.
To help my students complete their self-directed STEM projects, they need access to a well-stocked Makerspace.
Our newly remodeled Library includes a brand new Makerspace and we need resources for our students to utilize. My students love creating, building, and taking things apart, so they need a variety of STEM resources to support their project-based learning activities and lessons. They need access to a variety of activities so they can explore and satisfy their curiosity about the world around them! They need the marble run sets to use when constructing their creations.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
