My Project

This project was created to provide my students with a variety of STEAM games that build intrigue and critical thinking. STEAM is an introduction for many of my students to varying Science fields.

STEAM education is not limited to building science and math knowledge.

STEAM concepts help students develop new ways of thinking, encouraging curiosity and analysis. Among the different maze games students create competing mazes to solve and observe how gravity works in mazes.

Help us reach our goal by donating to our class project! Thank you in advance!
