My Project

My students are always looking for engaging STEM activities in Science to deepen their thinking skills. These materials will make a difference because it will allow for the students to be able to use their hands when doing STEM projects.

STEM is a huge part of the world today and to give the students new experiences and opportunities to create and develop different activities will allow critical thinking and problem-solving skills to be used.

My students are always so engaged in their hands-on activities and look forward to doing experiments and testing their hypothesis.
