STEM-tastic Creations: Building, Growing, and Celebrating Together!

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our project will provide our kindergarteners with hands-on experiences in building gingerbread houses, planting seeds, creating 100-day necklaces, sorting buttons and dyeing eggs. These activities will enhance their understanding of basic engineering, biology, chemistry and math concepts in a fun and engaging way. Our goal is to foster a love for STEM from an early age, encouraging curiosity and creativity. Our students are special because they bring boundless energy and unique perspectives to every project.

"Play is the highest form of research.” Albert Einstein

Your donations will help us turn play into powerful learning experiences.
