Morning STEM Bins

Help me give my students a fun, low-pressure, and exciting way to start their mornings!

My Project

My students love coming in every morning and getting 20 minutes or so to chat with their buddies and engage in their morning STEM bins. However, the STEM activities that we currently have are years old, are missing pieces (or pieces are broken), and they don't have a variety of activities to choose from.

Please consider donating to help purchase some new STEM "toys" for my students!

By using the STEM activities, my students can continue to build relationships with their peers as well as practice collaboration with a team and work together to problem solve. They and I would be so thankful to have new STEM bins!

Thank you for considering our project!
