STEM Room Beautification

Help me give my students eco-friendly materials, LED lighting, and plant plant-based classroom for creativity and classroom beautification.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sessom's classroom raised $297

This project is fully funded

My Project

Room beautification can be meaningfully incorporated into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through several interdisciplinary approaches that combine creativity with problem-solving and technical skills.

Eco-friendly border and bulletin paper, along with plants, and LED lights create a physics concept that enhances aesthetics and mood.

LED lighting and color theory exploration promote creativity and natural light optimization. Plants promote an environment that is conducive to student learning and natural air quality, no matter what season it is. Students become responsible citizens when they are caring for their classroom environment with items such as plants and organized materials.
