Super STEM Materials

Help me give my students free building STEM materials to explore building and creative thinking!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilcox's classroom raised $267

This project is fully funded

My Project

A Makerspace utilizes STEM activities in the library to teach students valuable life skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and independent learning. Our Makerspace is still pretty new to the library, so our options for building materials are limited. My imaginative students have a limited access to these kinds of materials, so this would be a fantastic opportunity for them!

I am asking for free building STEM materials to encourage my students to explore and build creatively.

My goal is to create an environment where my students can freely access materials to help them build skills that can grow with them!
