Help me give my students the STEM materials needed to prepare the future of the world by using the magnetiles, pattern blocks, Keva blocks and other manipulative materials to fully supply the lab.
The engineering and building materials included in this project will allow for students to be fully immersed in an engaging, stem-rich classroom environment. By having a variety of materials like building bricks, blocks, magnetic blocks, science equipment, and other materials will provide students to learn STEM skills based on using voice and choice in learning pathways and preferences in real-world goals.
The STEM classroom environment is meant as a place where students learn how to interact with the world around them and the best way they know how to engage with the world around them is through play.
Students work at different speeds which lend the need for the variety of STEM building materials. Early elementary students thrive with opportunities to engage in play while learning real-world scenarios that the STEM curriculum provides.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
