STEM to the Rescue!

Help me give my students hands-on STEM kits to explore the engineering design process.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zeno's classroom raised $693

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are a Title I school in the heart of Texas. My students are inquisitive, energetic and curious. We are a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics magnet school. My students want to grow up to be computer scientists, geologists, environmental engineers, mechanical engineers, roboticists and the like.

My students pledge to push the boundaries of science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics and computer science.

Although many of my students were adversely affected by Hurricane Harvey, they are determined to not lose hope and continue pursuing their dreams.

My Project

These materials will allow my students to explore the engineering design process. These materials provide relevant hands-on minds-on experiences that illustrate how doctors, engineers, scientists and other STEM professionals work together to solve complex problems.

Access to these high-quality materials will allow my students to envision themselves in STEM careers.

Students will begin by learning background information about the real-world challenges that frame each "mission". This background knowledge helps students to see how the skills they learn in the classroom can be used to help solve real-world problems. Students will then work in small groups to solve challenges through structured activities that support critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork
