My Project

My students are curious problem-solvers who love to explore, create, and discover.

These supplies will support hands-on STEM activities where students can design, test, measure, organize, and communicate their ideas.

Cardstock will be used for engineering designs, diagrams, and project displays, while markers, crayons, and colored pencils will help students sketch models, label observations, and present their thinking. Dry-erase boards and cleaning supplies will support brainstorming, quick math challenges, data collection, and revising ideas. Storage bags will help students sort and organize materials during investigations and engineering challenges. Hygiene and cleaning supplies will keep our collaborative STEM environment safe, organized, and ready for hands-on learning. With these resources, students will have opportunities to work together, think critically, test solutions, and build confidence as young scientists and engineers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
