FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barber's classroom raised $172

My Project

My fifth and sixth grade students are looking forward to becoming cardboard arcade game creators in our upcoming STEM unit. This unit will be interactive and engaging for students as they dive into the engineering design process and explore measurement, angles, and gravity concepts that will allow their cardboard games to be actually playable by their peers.

My STEM students thrive when they are creating projects that they know will be used by others.

They will rise to this challenge of creating interactive cardboard arcade games and knock this project out of the park because they know that their peers will be reviewing their hard work. The addition of the supplies requested will give them the edge they need to design moveable parts and make their games as playable and FUN as possible!
