As a Gifted and Talented teacher, I have the privilege of working with passionate, curious learners who thrive when given the freedom to explore and create. With a wide range of interests and advanced abilities, my students benefit most from choice-based, hands-on learning that challenges their thinking and fuels their creativity.
My students love designing innovative solutions to real-world problems, often using robotics and engineering concepts to bring their ideas to life.
To support this, it’s essential that our classroom is stocked with versatile materials that allow for open-ended exploration—especially in our engineering and computer science challenges.
To keep their momentum going, we need an adequate inventory of Makedo cardboard construction tools—safe, reusable materials that allow students to build imaginative prototypes and functional designs. These resources will ensure students continue to have voice and choice in their projects, while also avoiding delays due to supply shortages.
With your support, you'll help provide the tools my gifted learners need to think critically, design boldly, and engage deeply with their learning. Thank you for helping us keep creativity and challenge at the heart of our classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
