STEM Materials: A Chance To Build, Experiment, and Play

Help me give my students opportunities to build creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills with STEM kits, blocks, play-dough, pixel blocks, and building materials; we will also use them for STEM center activities in ART class.

My Project

Early finisher students will choose from a variety of hands-on activities to help build their skills in engineering, math, science, and technology.

I like to encourage STEM and STEAM learning whenever I can during my ART specialty class.

I see all the students at my school, so the impact is broad. These STEM-focused materials requested will fit well with my desire for my students to create, experiment, and make mistakes. It gives me a chance to expose my 750+ students to materials and kits that many of them would not have access to otherwise.
