FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keilah's classroom raised $321
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
This engaging project uses wooden balls and ramps to spark curiosity and build a strong foundation in STEM learning. This specific item will make a difference in their learning through hands-on exploration, and students will investigate principles like gravity, motion, force, and simple machines such as incline planes! As they design and test their ramps, they'll strengthen motor skills, language development, and social-emotional growth.
The project's goal is to introduce STEM concepts through joyful, play-based learning that encourages problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking.
Our students are naturally curious explorers, and this project honors their love of discovery by offering a rich environment where learning rolls forward with every turn and test of the ramp.
More than half of 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
