My Project

In our learning space, curiosity leads the way. This project is designed to bring hands-on, sensory-friendly, and STEM-focused tools into our classroom; resources that spark exploration, build critical thinking, and support unique learners.

Many of my students thrive with interactive, tactile experiences that help them better engage with the world around them.

By incorporating sensory tools, robotics kits, engineering materials, and tech-based learning tools, I aim to create a classroom where students can tinker, build, explore, and grow—regardless of their learning style or background.

These materials will help students:

-Develop problem-solving skills through hands-on projects

-Strengthen focus and self-regulation with sensory-friendly tools

-Build confidence in science, coding, and technology

-Collaborate creatively on STEM challenges and experiments

-Experience learning that is inclusive, dynamic, and FUN!

With your support, we can empower the next generation of thinkers, makers, and innovators—one curious mind at a time. Thank you for helping us dream bigger and build brighter futures!
