My Project

We have been witnessing the trend in the job market…it is forever changing and the jobs for the future don’t yet exist. We need to provide our students with the experiences and skills they need to adapt to the ever-changing culture.

Collaboration, team building, problem-solving, math, science, and technology are the cornerstone for success in the future.

Having STEM materials like the Snap Circuits kits in the classroom where students work in a collaborative environment will help them understand the importance of working together to problem solve and troubleshoot. The students are working while learning the fundamental skills in programming and of course, equally important, having fun! The storage bins will help with management so students can easily access them when needed.

These vital skills of working collaboratively and becoming more fluent in the digital world will help my students stay competitive in the future work environment.
