My Students

Our elementary school students are smart, funny and creative. They love hands-on learning that engages the heart and the mind. In science, they enjoy STEAM activities that include science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. They also love opportunities to collaborate and share ideas. My goal as the STEAM lab educator is to develop creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills in every student. Through an integrated STEAM curriculum, our students will learn the skills they need to become innovators and future changemakers. Please consider donating to our elementary school science program.

My Project

Our students love science and they especially love opportunities that allow them to be creative and innovative. In the STEAM Lab, hands-on learning is something we do every day. A normal day in the STEAM Lab includes projects where students are encouraged to work together to solve problems, create solutions, and use innovative thinking as they learn about science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. One of the things our students love most is robotics and coding.

This project will provide a ROCKSTAR theme, including hats, sunglasses, and goodies for the First Lego League competition where FUN is an important part of learning.

These ROCKSTAR goodies will provide our students the opportunity to show up to the competition as true rockstars. They will truly show the fun they have had working as a team to design, innovate, and create code for their robot to navigate the challenge field and an innovation project that will rock the world of shipping and cargo!
