STEM Supplies for Students With Disabilities

Help me give my students STEM supplies and activities to promote project based learning for students with severe disabilities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ben's classroom raised $2,478

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have severe learning disabilities that prevent them from participating in a general classroom setting. Because of this, they oftentimes do not get the resources and support they need to access the same educational opportunities as everyone else. This year, for the first time, my school has set up a STEM program and my students have excelled with it. They get to do hands on activities that motivate them and engage them in the curriculum.

Every student deserves access to project based learning.

My students have made more progress this year as a result of their STEM class than ever before. However, we are running out of materials and would like to be able to continue with STEM instruction next year. The STEM materials requested are for students in grades 3-12 and will cover a wide variety of STEM projects including engineering activities, exploration of different technologies, science projects, and more. Any help would be incredibly appreciated and would go to students who have lacked support and accessibility their whole lives.

Thank you for anything you could help with!
