Help me give my students S.T.E.M. manipulatives to get their young minds engaged in elements of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pena's classroom raised $370
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are continuing their educational journey through exploration, however, we are lacking engaging resources. This project will allow them to immerse themselves while creating and exploring through the use of S.T.E.M. manipulatives. This project allows me to purchase these necessities - as well as their storage - that foster such learning.
Creativity and hands-on engagement promote active and long lasting learning.
This project will quench my THIRSTY FIRSTIES wonderment through S.T.E.M. experiences, allowing them to navigate through problem-solving. This project will enable my students the following skill set: ingenuity and creativity; build resilience; encourage experimentation; encourage adaptation; and learn problem-solving.
Nearly all 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
