My Project

STEM is an essential to learning and advancing in the classroom. Having the opportunity to have STEM and hands on activities in the classroom is a game changer! Using hands on activities like Legos and STEM kits like balloon chasers and balloon races, make learning fun and engaging. STEM activities give the opportunity to students to start thinking in a different way. Maybe students are having difficulty understanding a topic that is talked about in class and then we do a fun hands on activity and they understand so much better!

I love my students and want them to experience as many hands on learning opportunities as they can!

The STEM kits provide challenges that encourage critical thinking and real world examples. The materials on this list will engage students to think outside the box!

I am so excited to be give my students the ability to learn and engage in different ways. Making learning fun is so important and sometimes hard to do. By having activities using LEGOS and STEM kits students can challenge themselves and be ready for real world challenges!
