My Students

Help our kindergarten through fifth graders explore STEAM activities, practice engineering, and explore their creativity.

Our students love to explore the world around them, they love to solve real world problems, and they love to learn.

Our students focus on creating classroom communities and fostering an atmosphere of acceptance. They love to work cooperatively with partners, in small groups, and as a whole group to explore real world problems and use engineering concepts to solve them. Our students love to practice coding using robotics and create movies to teach others about their research and ideas.

My Project

Your donation will help all of the students in our school engage in hands-on engineering challenges during their weekly visits to our STEAM Lab. Our students love to create and collaborate to solve problems. With these supplies they will have the opportunity to solve puzzles both flat and 3-D using different materials.

The buzzers, building supplies, batteries and lights will allow students to practice spatial reasoning, logical thinking, problem solving and practice seeing things from multiple perspectives.

Students of all ages will engage in composing and decomposing structures and exploring, comparing and contrasting.

Your donation will encourage perseverance and sportsmanship. Students will love competing in timed races to complete challenges. We can't wait to start building with our new supplies!
