STEM in Society

Help me give my students access to unique STEM resources for hands-on experiences with creating, inventing, design and coding. Makedo sets will make it possible for them to effectively repurpose cardboard in a myriad of ways.

My Project

Our EEE (Enhancing Elementary Education) Project Based Learning program has shifted from Arts & Humanities to STEM in Society. Because of this change, our students need access to just a few new resources to enrich the teaching and learning experience. The Makedo and Straw building sets provide tools to help students design and create while repurposes materials. Matalab introduces young learners to coding. The STEAM kits introduce young learners to the scientific process by providing play-based experiments.

Our students are diverse, fun-loving and community minded.

Help them increase their awareness of the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in their everyday lives.
