My students need the Comprehensive STEM Bins in order to increase their ability to solve problems with specific constraints, think inventively and imaginatively, and challenge themselves to work collaboratively.

My Students
I am a proud teacher of diverse learners in NYC's ASD NEST program. My students are special in so many ways---where do I begin?
My students light up when they are learning about a topic that they really connect with and even more so when a project impacts their lives.
Located in the diverse neighborhood of the East Village in NYC, my classroom is a true melting pot of cultures and abilities. Some of my students are advanced thinkers and self starters while others are learning to engage with schoolwork as well as their peers. Each student finds great joy and pride in learning new topics, but their methods and strategies can vary greatly.
As their teacher, my goal is to provide a learning environment where my students are engaged with inspiring projects and vibrant discussion.
My Project
These materials will provide my students with the opportunity to engage in STEM activities on a daily basis. In our current educational climate there is so much emphasis on preparing our students for a future full of new forms of engineering and technology. These new tools will be used daily as early finisher work, "challenge yourself" stations, exciting center work, and to further incorporate the sciences into a math and ELA heavy day.
My goal is to encourage our budding scientists, artists, designers, technicians, and architects!
These STEM bins and manipulatives will allow my students to practice their critical thinking and fine motor skills in collaborative and independent ways. These tools will also act as a motivator in the classroom and motivation is key to remaining engaged at any academic level.
Half of students from low‑income households
