At-Risk Youth: Exploring a Visual Multicultural STEM Journey
Help me give my students a printer, manipulative and classroom supplies. The project focuses on a theme, such as building bridges, exploring nature, or creating inventions. We use materials to do activities and learn about concepts.

My Project
Engaging students in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) projects can be incredibly educational and fun, especially when using indoor and outdoor manipulatives. Focus on open-ended activities that allow children to explore and create in their unique ways. This approach fosters creativity and invites diverse expressions.
Utilize building blocks to inspire structures based on various architectural styles worldwide, such as pyramids, towers, and houses.
Math manipulatives, such as bug counters and wooden blocks, help children sort, count, make patterns, and learn colors and shapes.
Introducing STEM concepts early opens doors for future scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Children will learn to create interactive models and practice fine and gross motor skills while engaging in collaborative free play. This makes learning memorable and enjoyable while helping them build relationships with classmates.
These materials can also enhance children’s understanding of addition and subtraction. Additionally, manipulatives strengthen the muscles in a child's hands and wrists, improving hand-eye coordination.
Providing the right materials encourages students to think creatively and enables them to create, explore, and build freely.
Furthermore, the printer can print pictures of different stages of the students' growth and development. These pictures can be displayed around the classroom and in the school hallways. Students will gain a visual perspective on their growth by creating a journal that includes pictures and writing.
More than half of students from low‑income households
