STEMulating Students Minds

Help me give my students interactive STEM materials for our lower income classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wessman's classroom raised $609

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach 20 lower income "little thinkers.” I want to give them the best education possible. These PlayShifu Educational STEM kits will provide supplemental activities for my students.

These kits will help provide additional educational support for students.

Each student learns differently but hands-on learning makes a lasting impact for students. Students of poverty have little exposure to science and math. These kits will provide math, STEM and phonics activities for years to come and enhance the classroom STEM lessons.

The kits will intergrade with the Kindle tablets we have in our classroom.
