S.T.E.M Rocks!

Help me give my students new and fresh STEM kits to incorporate into daily learning!

My Project

Help me to provide new STEM options for my students to utilize within the classroom. My students are most successful in learning when there is a hands-on experience in all academics. It's extremely beneficial when my students are able to explore cross curricular manipulatives and learn from these new and fabulous STEM kits. These microscope and terrarium kits and resources will dramatically increase understanding in all core contents.

The variety of these STEM kits is important and to have multiple options for the students to pick from greatly increases their interest to learn and engage with the task.
