My Project

Thank you for considering a donation to my gifted classroom. These projects will include all of the materials needed for my students to build and participate in STEM and STEAM challenges in both small groups and individually. The materials are in well-designed kits designed for specific outcomes and fun learning experiences inside my classroom. Participating in these science challenges will encourage my students to explore possibilities outside the box that general education sometimes limits them to. It will also encourage my gifted students to explore careers within the STEM realm.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
