My Project
My students are incredibly curious and creative 4th and 5th graders. I see them engaged in critical thinking and problem solving. By having access to a variety of engineering-focused activities, my students will develop their creativity and critical thinking skills.
"You can't use up creativity; the more you use, the more you have"-- Maya Angelou.
The activities in this project include some beautiful puzzles, Sphero Specdrums, robots my students can code music with, and a collaborative game, Beasts of Balance. With these activities, we will continue to develop our scientific minds and build a stronger classroom community. I've also included two picture books with a science focus to further inspire us. It is an exciting prospect!
My students have so much passion for learning and for creating--we need more opportunities to expand our perspectives and our creativity. These activities and games will stretch their imaginations and their critical thinking skills. Help us engineer great brain power! Thank you for considering donating to our project!
