Stem Stimulates Brains

Help me give my students these STEM sensory building activities to help make learning fun and enjoyable.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vang's classroom raised $238

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in learning. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Students in my classroom will have the opportunity to get a head start on their learning skills by working with these stem sensory materials. Touching and building will stimulate the brain.

My young learners will learn best when they can use their imagination to touch and build.

Students using stem to build allows them to explore and learn in a variety of ways. These STEM materials are a perfect way to stimulate and articulate these young brains. The beauty of these STEM materials are that students will be able to learn colors, shapes, and numbers. Students will also be able to use their iPads to record steps on how to build things. STEM is the gateway to enhance the young brain to enjoy and to have a love for learning. My students will love getting their hands on these STEM sensory materials.
