My Project

I will be a first-year teacher in the fall in a newer school and a basically empty classroom. I would love to supply my students with these STEM toys to further their learning. I plan to use these each morning to start every day off with my students developing and using their critical thinking skills.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase students' critical thinking skills but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

It is important for students to develop critical thinking skills as it will aid in the rest of their learning. Critical thinking aids in so many different areas of life that developing it will not only assist in the learning they do at school but also everywhere else in their life.
