STEM At Sweetwater!

Help me give my students STEM materials to foster their ingenuity and creativity!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Beckstead's classroom raised $182

My Project

My students are creative, determined, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on and engaging art projects. I want them to be able to be creative without having to worry about the outcome of their project and be able to create something that they are proud of.

Each child brings their own creativity and uniqueness to their creations.

I love hearing their conversation as I walk by their tables during class about what they are working on. I hear such things as "This is so fun!" and "I wish we could do this every day!". They come to my art class each day ready to try new things and take on any project I put in front of them. Truly, they are my inspiration!

STEM activities will enable my students to foster their ingenuity and creativity at the same time! I can't wait to see the creative minds of my students develop and flourish!
