My Project

Stem building kits for our Stem bins in our 1st - 4th grade engineering classes : I would like to expand them with building blocks, connectors, gears, and other manipulatives. The bins offer students the opportunity to engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning activities that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Students use the STEM bins weekly by exploring concepts in STEM through play and experimentation, they develop a deeper understanding of STEM concepts and foster a lifelong love for learning.

Research shows the positive impact of STEM education on student achievement and future career opportunities.

By investing in STEM bins, we can provide our students with the tools they need to develop essential 21st-century skills and prepare them for success in a technology-driven world.
