STEM Project for Special Education Students

Help me give my students an opportunity to grow their knowledge in STEM activities because I would like to expand my students’ views about what they can and cannot do and help them achieve these goals.

My Project

I'm a new teacher next year and I have nothing yet for my students. I have high hopes of giving my students every opportunity that students in the general education classroom have. These LEGO and K'NEX kits requested will help achieve these goals. Often times, special education students have low self views. I believe that when they apply themselves to developing robots, and then programming them, they will gain more knowledge that will help them succeed in their lives. In turn, this will give them a sense of success and improve self-esteem so they will try harder in other areas. The thing that I love about my students is that they try hard to succeed even when they have a harder time learning. They generally try to give it their all.
