Help me give my students a year full of STEAM learning to build our critical thinking skills to solve real world problems.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Eco's classroom raised $395
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
Thank you for taking the time to look at our project. We in 5th grade have a passion for building and creating new designs. We would love to add these K-Nex and Meccano sets to our classroom to make free time more fun and hands on!
"Creativity and STEM are not mutually exclusive and in fact, they're so much better together" - Kiki Wolfkill
These K-Nex and Meccano kits are the most cost effective option for STEAM kits while offering an ample amount of pieces to have all of our student's creativity come to life. Each table of students will receive a kit and students will begin working collaboratively to problem solve and build many of the 35 models before attempting to make their own creations. Thank You for your time.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
