My Project

My students have been working on STEM all year, however, they have been using a lot of outdated equipment. With this project, I hope to create a fun space for my students to explore their STEM education even further. Incorporating hands-on activities and experiments that align with their interests is of utmost importance. By using interactive activities, such as magnetic gravity building blocks and and white boards to write down their theories, will help to engage and challenge them.

Furthermore, this will encourage collaboration and teamwork to promote progressive problem-solving skills.

Lastly, this will also provide a safe and inclusive environment that fosters creativity and curiosity for each of my students.
