My Project

My students are energetic, hands-on learners who love to build, explore, and discover how things work.

To support their curiosity and critical thinking, I’m requesting a collection of STEM-based building kits that will turn abstract concepts into real-world, interactive experiences.

The Ravensburger GraviTrax marble run system and its expansions will help students explore physics concepts like gravity, motion, and energy. These sets allow them to design, test, and revise marble tracks, encouraging creativity, perseverance, and problem-solving. The addition of the Power Element Light brings even more excitement and learning potential.

I’m also including LEGO kits such as the da Vinci flying machine and Earth-Moon orbit set, which connect history, space science, and engineering. These builds will spark discussions about innovation and scientific discovery while reinforcing STEM skills.

Lastly, the bulk animal building block sets will serve as collaborative stations and rewards that inspire imaginative play and teamwork. These versatile materials will benefit students across subjects and learning styles.

With your help, I can give my students the tools to think like engineers, explore like scientists, and create like inventors.
