STEMS Bins Will Make Us Win!

Help me give my students STEM bins to help them practice their engineering skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wallace's classroom raised $422

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am writing to kindly request your support in providing STEM bins for our classroom. These hands-on learning tools will make a powerful impact on student engagement and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and math.

STEM bins are small, portable containers filled with building materials like LEGO bricks, craft sticks, pipe cleaners, straws, and other manipulatives.

They give students the opportunity to design, build, test, and reflect on their own solutions to real-world challenges.

Early exposure to engineering and design can spark interest in future STEM careers, especially among underrepresented groups.

We would be grateful for any contribution you can make—whether it’s providing materials, donating funds, or helping us build a collection of bins. Your generosity will directly support students in becoming curious, creative, and confident problem-solvers.
