Help me give my students a mini maker space so that my kinders can develop their STEAM design skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Husted's classroom raised $692

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My kindergarten students are eager to create and build! My students are designers and solvers of real world problems and given the appropriate materials, they can see their prototypes come to life! They are enthusiastic when it comes to designing ways to lift up their community. They are kind and caring towards one another and with your support they can hone their design skills and build empathy so they go out into the world and make a difference!

My hope is that every child leaves my classroom excited about learning and ready to think critically about the world around them.

My Project

To help support my students, I would like to create a mini maker space inside the classroom. A maker space with tools to help the students design and create projects that will help the world around them. With access to materials any time of the day, students can create and build in the moment and reiterate their prototypes as they gather feedback for their designs.

The maker space mobile cart will be filled with creative items to be at students' fingertips on a daily basis as they are designing and creating for the world around them.

As students are reading and writing, they will be able to bring the characters in their stories to life by creating them and using them as inspiration during the day.

Young students have an active imagination and with a maker space mobile cart, I want to capture their imagination and foster their creativity.
