My Project

My kids love doing projects to reinforce all they're learning in class. We use art and engineering to build their love of STEM topics (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

STEM activities are a great way for students to get hands-on experience to really understand these challenging topics.

Our Cricut Maker allows them to make use of technology and computer-aided design while creating projects that solidify their learning in science and math.

We will explore light and vision building kaleidoscopes and thaumatropes. We can investigate weather, wind and motion making pinwheels and paper rollercoasters. With these resources, kids can use their imaginations to take their learning into the future!
