Help me give my students STEM materials so they can build race cars using PlusPlus blocks to help them study force and motion.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Proto's classroom raised $423

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 Students
The students at our public school come from diverse backgrounds and have had a variety of life experiences.
One thing that unites all of them is a love of hands-on learning.
As the STEM teacher at the school I get the chance to provide them all with a variety of challenging physical activities to help foster their problem solving and teamwork skills.
My Project
As the STEM teacher for every grade in my school, I strive to bring challenging hands-on activities into each classroom so that students can build grit, teamwork skills, and improve their problem solving abilities.
These materials will enable my students to design and test their own race cars while learning about force, motion, and the engineering process.
as well as learning about force and motion, my students will test different car builds in order to learn about data collection and analysis.
PlusPlus is an amazing building tool that can be used for many other activities besides this one project. Their durability ensures that they won't just be beneficial to my students this year but for years to come.
Along with the PlusPlus for building race cars, I am asking for magnetic building sticks so that students can design a race course and the index cards and pipe cleaners will be used to build towers and skyscrapers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
