My Project

I’m reaching out with excitement and gratitude as I prepare to enhance our Educational Enhancement Class Time—a vibrant STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) learning block designed to ignite creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking in middle school students.

To bring this hands-on vision to life, I’m seeking support from generous individuals like you to help supply our classroom with materials that encourage exploration and innovation.

Our current wishlist includes a range of high-impact, student-loved STEAM kits and creative tools:

Bracelet and Jewelry-Making Kits (rubber bands, clay beads, elastic cords, charms) – Encourage self-expression, fine motor development, and design thinking.

STEM Exploration Sets (building kits, pipe construction, connectors) – Hands-on engineering and problem-solving that bring physics, logic, and imagination together.

STEM Robotics & Circuit Projects – To foster curiosity and understanding of how things work through motor-powered experiments and solar-powered models.

LEGO Creative Cases and Block Sets – Encourage spatial reasoning, creativity, and teamwork through open-ended building activities.

Art Kits & Scratch Art Supplies – For visual storytelling, mindfulness, and joy in creating.

Straws & Connectors STEM Sets – Perfect for group collaboration and playful structural engineering.

Each of these tools is more than just a “supply”—it’s a spark. They allow students to build, tinker, design, invent, and believe in their ability to solve problems and express themselves.

Your donation will directly support classroom projects and activities that reach a wide range of learners, including those with different strengths, interests, and needs. Thank you for investing in joyful, hands-on learning. Together, we can build something incredible.
