STEM-tastic Play: Building Young Innovators Through Hands-On Learning!

Help me give my students STEM building tools to connect thematic units to STEM projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Potts's classroom raised $372

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will bring engaging, hands-on STEM toys into our classroom to help students learn science, technology, engineering, and math in a way that feels like play. These tools will encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.

We are requesting STEM toys like magnetic building blocks, simple building toys, engineering challenges, and logic-based games.

These materials will be used during center time, indoor recess, and science/STEM lessons.

STEM toys not only teach academic content, but also help students build important life skills like problem-solving, perseverance, and teamwork. When students have the opportunity to build a structure, solve a puzzle, or co-create a project, they’re learning by doing—and having fun while they do it.
