Help me give my students in our STEM book club The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind to connect to The Windmill STEM Challenge.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Miles's classroom raised $286
This project is fully funded
My Project
The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and this book will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading and connect to STEM. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a great book to connect to The Windmill STEM Challenge and it’s written for, by, and about people of the African Diaspora.
This challenge will engage my aftershool STEM club as they learn about windmills.
Students will construct windmills after they research them. Students will go through the Engineering Process as they build and test their structures using various materials to construct it.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
