My Project

Kindergarten is an age of exploration and discovery! I would love to provide a center where I can cultivate their natural curiosity for the world around us. The STEM activities will be organized on a double sided storage cart that is easily accessible to all students. Our science exploration center will allow them to make scientific discoveries about their five senses, plants, animals, force and motion, magnets and so much more!

I want to create a center where students will be able to explore and build on their curiosity and discover a passion for learning about science.

These materials will provide the students an opportunity to deepen their understanding and develop critical thinking skills through hands on learning.

Your donation to this project will inspire curiosity, foster discovery, and encourage a lifelong love of science. Thank you for supporting our future scientists!
