Ms. Thompson from Jonesboro GA is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

STEM Superstars in the Making!

Help me give my students the ability to explore STEM concepts through hands on investigations. Students will try to solve real world problems with the Water Shortage STEM kit as well as try their hands at inventing.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I am fortunate to be able to teach a dynamic group of gifted students in the Metro Atlanta area.

My students love to learn and explore and are always up for the challenges I provide them.

These are wonderful kids!

My Project

The materials in this project will go towards engaging my students in hand-on STEM investigations. My students are from culturally diverse, economically disadvantaged backgrounds and these kind of materials are not things that they would normally engage with at home.

My goal is to provide them with a classroom experience that will spark their curiosity and keep them thinking, and talking, about the activities when they get home.

I want them to make connections and think about how they can solve problems with what they have available. I want them to overflow with creativity!
