My Project

Aloha,

I teach students with behavior and sensory and communication needs, my students need a pathway to help them learn more about STEM!

This project would help give these students access to STEM activities.

The building kits would be used for my older students, I have 2 students who love legos but are ready to be challenged. The mangent tiles and younger STEM activities will be used to help support my younger students. I would used these activities to support connections within the classroom but also to support communication and social skills. The containers will be used to hold the items.

STEM is an important part of special education, because many students learn by having hands on opportunities and this is the perfect way to create a life long love for STEM.

Thank you for viewing my project,

Kattie Thammas
