My Project

My students love working hands on in their Makerspace. We do all kinds of lessons focusing on engineering challenges. These lessons help my students develop their communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

Hot Wheels provide a great way to learning about energy and motion!

I am asking for enough tracks, cars, and gates to reach every student in the Makerspace. The bins will provide storage for their car kits and allow for easy cleanup and portability. Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy, friction, wind resistance, and more as they build their Hot Wheels courses. Thank you for supporting my students and making their STEM lessons exciting.
