Promoting STEM With Lego

Help me give my students Lego STEM sets that they can use collaboratively to increase their skills

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Spitz's classroom raised $162

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am an occupational therapist and I work with my students on many skills, including improving their fine motor skills, visual-motor skills, visual perceptual skills, and social skills. These skills are the building blocks for being a successful learner. My students all have a disability, which can limit their ability to succeed. These supplies can make a big difference to my students!

Children learn best through play so I try to make our therapy sessions fun and exciting by engaging in various hands-on activities.

However, we need the supplies to be able to do this. By donating these LEGO STEM activities, you will enable me to be able to perform various fun and hands-on activities with my students during our occupational therapy sessions. My students will also work collaboratively to complete these LEGO activities, so they can work on their social skills and community interaction skills. These LEGO activities are all great tools to help my students increase their STEM skills too! I also like to send home LEGO sets with my students so they can use them there!
