My Project
The "marble fun in STEM" project will provide students with an engaging and educational experience that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. By blending the excitement of a hands-on project with core STEAM principles, we aim to spark students' interest in science and engineering fields while also fostering collaboration and creativity.
This project will instill a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of the STEAM fields, demonstrating how engineering principles are used in real-world applications.
It will encourage students to approach challenges with creativity and persistence, and enhance their problem-solving abilities in a team-oriented environment.
With the support of this grant, we can provide students with the materials and resources they need to build marble runs, understand fundamental scientific concepts, and develop the skills necessary for future success in STEAM careers.
