Help me give my students exposure to STEM through the use of animals and hands on activities.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finley's classroom raised $363
This project is fully funded
My Project
STEAM/STEM education has become a large part of current elementary curriculum, but often our youngest learners are left out. This is due to educators not understanding what materials to use to make age appropriate and fun activities. Fortunately that’s not me! I would love to have these materials so that I can fill up my Discovery center shelves and really actively engage my students in STEM education. I will merge our current curriculum studies with various science projects to make sure that my students are properly exposed to the wonderful world of science!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
