The A in Steam stands for ART

Help me give my students the much needed art materials for our stem project.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Comtois's classroom raised $275

My Project

As part of our effort to integrate creativity into STEM learning, we frequently use art materials to help students design models, prototypes, and visual presentations that enhance both their understanding and engagement.

Our students are particularly excited about upcoming projects that combine artistic expression with engineering design, such as building model bridges, creating illustrated science journals, building house for people and how to make them hurricane proof.

However, we are currently facing a shortage of essential supplies.

Your support will help us continue providing hands-on, creative learning opportunities that make STEM subjects more accessible and enjoyable for all students.
