Help me give my students new STEM sets. These sets, including the Bridge Builders Classroom Set, align with our second-grade science standards. My students will explore these STEM sets and engage in creative play.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Adam Simmers's classroom raised $300
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Project
My choices for STEM kits align with the state of Missouri's second-grade science standards. My students will develop a deeper understanding of how machines work while building the mental muscles needed for STEM careers. These STEM kits develop fine motor skills, visual-spatial skills, reasoning, and concept skills. They will also use STEM-building toys to build essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills. There is a great introduction to gears, gear ratios, transmissions, power, and torque for our young learners. I hope to inspire future engineers, scientists, and inventors by exploring effort, force, load, motion, and distance with these STEM kits.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
