STEM Explorers

Help me give my students STEM bin kits, STEM materials and STEM related books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Travis's classroom raised $537

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to explore, create and build. The STEM bin kits and additional STEM materials will foster curiosity in engineering concepts, support students' communication and collaboration skills and allow students to engage in purposeful play.

Students will be able to use these materials for morning work, during math centers and for team building activities.

They will also have access to these materials as fun, hands-on activities once they have completed their work. Literacy will be incorporated as students read the STEM books and write reflections and descriptions of their creations.
