STEM - The Magic of Creativity

Help me give my students hands-on STEM activities that they can engage and explore various concepts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. C.'s classroom raised $746

My Project

My students are inquisitive and they love challenges. I believe STEM activities are important because it teaches critical thinking skills and instills a passion for their creativity. STEM activities will allow integration of all subject areas including math, science, and technology which is vital for preschool students to be exposed to.

These STEM activities allow students to explore and have exposure to hands-on and relevant real-world learning experiences.

Students will be able to use their imagination and the hands-on approach to experiment and explore as this will also allow them to retain many science and math concepts that will be helpful and useful in preschool and beyond.
