FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Evans's classroom raised $959

My Students

My students are full of energy, excited to learn, and naturally inquisitive. They want to be engaged in the lessons, instead of being passive learners.

With STEAM/STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and Problem/Project-Based Learning (PBL) students are engaged and solving both real-life and fictional problems.

Students want to know what they do will matter, and they are our future problem solvers. In my classroom, you will see my students taking risks, and learning from both what works and what doesn't work. Mistakes are not only welcome, but they are also expected, and we all learn from them!

My school has one thousand diverse students coming from different socioeconomic statuses, including many students living below poverty.

My Project

With these Hydraulic Arm Engineering kits, syringes, and air tubing will learn how hydraulics work by seeing how hydraulics make items lift with very little effort. My students will learn about hydraulics as an applied science and engineering design that is used in manufacturing companies and in their everyday life (dishwashers, cars, gas pumps, amusement park rides, etc.).

After learning how hydraulics work, my students will be challenged to innovate and design their own hydraulics system.

By giving the students an opportunity to practice innovation and design in the classroom, they are learning to create, collaborate, tinker, explore, build, and think critically which are all skills they will need for future careers.
