My Project

STEM activities are so important for enhancing creativity and problem-solving skills. Since my classroom consists of varying learning levels, having a variety of STEM activities will ensure that all my students are appropriately exposed to STEM. Some of my students can focus on cause and effect at a more advanced level through the Create a Chain-Reaction STEM kit and GEARS! Robot Factory STEM kit, while other students build simple structures with Picassso Tiles and the STEM Builder Series Build an Animal kit. Please support my amazing students by donating to this project!
