STEM Through LEGO Blocks!

Help me give my students a reason to love STEM. I am a math/content (science and social studies) teacher looking to apply STEM more in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beal's classroom raised $698

My Project

As a math and content (science and social studies) teacher, I want to apply STEM more in my classroom. I want my students to explore this field and everything that comes along with it. STEM is an ever growing field that my students can access and gain great knowledge from. I want to expose them to different careers and give them ideas about potential jobs they can have in the future.

The Legos can be a building block that can foster learning and fun.

I plan on incorporating the Legos with project based learning where students first design a project on paper, then transfer it to building a 3D model.
