My Project

Creative confidence helps kids think BIG and act like creators and producers instead of just consumers. I love the creative, hands-on projects that encourage this kind of thinking, but as a teacher on a small island it is difficult to collect and find all the materials for different projects.

The Kiwi Kits come organized and students can select the kit that piques their curiosity.

The kits are amazing, but my classroom budget isn't enough to purchase enough for each student.

The goals are to develop my student's natural creativity and curiosity and allow them to choose an enriching project for them to build. I hope that the problem solving skills and creative confidence that my students gain today will help them tackle the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
