My Students

I teach science and social studies to 6th graders in a very unique and diverse school. My curriculum allows me to introduce students to many aspects of science throughout the school year. This is also a crucial age for students to foster their interests in STEM. I also run the STEM club at my school, for students to use their skills in another outlet.

I am passionate about incorporating STEM concepts into my lesson plans in as many ways as I can.

I believe that these skills, among other things, are what my students need to compete as adults in society.

My Project

Help me give my students a cart to hold all our STEM supplies on them. We have several bins filled with various materials, but no easy way to store them. Storing and organizing them will help me get more exciting tools, like coding robots.

Also, putting the STEM supplies and materials on a cart will help me transport and collaborate with other teachers in my building.

The cart could be easily pushed to another teacher's classroom. Sometimes the best professional development is the teacher down the hall, creating a STEM cart will open up collaboration opportunities for our entire staff here!
