My Project

In my fifth grade classroom, I am working on developing a love for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through hands-on learning experiences. To enhance my classroom, I would like to provide my students with opportunities to get creative through STEM bins each morning! I plan to accomplish this task by providing my students with STEM bins, carefully curated sets of materials that will provide students with engaging, practical learning opportunities. These bins will support inquiry-based learning, critical thinking, and creativity as well as provide natural ways for students to engage in mathematics.

My goal is to equip each student with the tools needed to explore STEM concepts in a tangible way.

By incorporating STEM bins, I aim to promote hands-on exploration and problem-solving skills. They will also encourage collaborative teamwork and communication and

build a strong foundation in core STEM subjects. They will also provide ample opportunities for creative freedom.

STEM bins will include materials such as building materials (magnetic tiles), pattern challenges, and supplies to encourage creative engineering. Each bin will be designed to encourage experimentation and discovery. In addition, I would like to utilize these kits to get my students having fun, getting engaged in learning, and excited to come to school each day!
