Help me give my students opportunities for hands-on STEM learning and exploration. Students will have a chance to work with magnetic building tiles, a marble run, gears, and tubes and blocks. The possibilities will be endless!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Empson's classroom raised $538
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Every year my students are always eager to learn. Hands-on learning through building, problem solving, and collaboration has become an essential part of my classroom. The STEM learning supplies I am requesting will allow my students to be creative as they want and think outside the box.
Students learn best when they are engaged and actively involved in the learning process.
They will be able to construct independently or within partners or small groups. So the STEM activities will also support problem solving, collaboration, and communication with others. Critical thinking skills and stamina are also essential for math and science, as well as reading and writing.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
