Spark Stem Skills

Help me give my students grow with some hands on learning STEM activities

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kerri's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Students

Students in my classroom are so curious and enjoy hands on learning materials. They are not afraid to try new things and really enjoy building elaborate structures when provided a variety of materials to strengthen and challenge their critical thinking skills

My Project

When students are given a variety of materials that are opened ended the possibilities are endless. They also will use critical thinking skills to problem solve and build structures in a multitude of ways. This will provide hours of hands on learning to spark students imagination.

Students will have the opportunity to create, build and explore a variety of different pathways to sharpen STEM skills and grow .

The skills they develop will help them develop the skills needed to be successful and confident learners in school and at home.
