Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

It is never to early to dive into STEM learning. Children have an innate curiosity to use all of their senses when it comes to learning. This is what STEM materials do in an early childhood classroom. STEM is not just education at children's fingertips, but it is an important piece in developing well-rounded learners. As children explore STEM material, it will promote critical thinking, help students to think about the world around them, and have future academic success for days to come. Research shows, STEM is very vital in the development of early childhood aged students. It is said to be great, because it encourages a love of learning and promotes children to think analytically, as it sets a strong foundation for future success in and out of the classroom.
