My Project

Help me build a colorful and curious world of science through offering all student their very own print copy of Scholastic SuperSTEM! Six times throughout the school year students will receive their very own magazine that explores STEM concepts through fun, real-world applications. Students love to get colorful and engaging materials that is their to keep. This will help them build essential background knowledge in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math. At school or at home, students will be able to extend their STEM learning on such topics as landforms, animal adaptations, coding and design thinking.
