STEM Lab for 24-25

Help me give my students exciting additions to help all levels of learning in my new STEM lab! My computer lab will be converted into a STEM lab this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carpenter Yanga's classroom raised $1,013

This project is fully funded

My Project

After 20 years of having a computer lab, we are converting it into a STEM lab. I am trading in slow and old iMacs for some new computers, laptops, and hands on materials. After looking over what I will be receiving, I began to think of the wide variety of learning styles that are in my school.

My school is K-4 and as we all know, students learn in different ways.

Differentiation is important to me as I want all students to succeed. Because I see every student in the school, I feel the items in this project will help all learners find success in the classroom!
