This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Pildner from McDonough, GA is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

See what Ms. Pildner is requesting

Today's Youth Are the STEM Solvers of the Future!

Help me give my students STEM-based books, supplies, kits, and resources to use STEM integration and our problem-solving skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pildner's classroom raised $1,839

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a first-year teacher that has been switched mid-year to start a STEM lab, we need all the help we can get! We are a hybrid-based program that is not recognized by the district as a typical brick-and-mortar school building even though we have fully functioning classrooms and now with the help of donors like yourself reading this, we will be able to have a fully functioning STEM lab as well. We don't get the grants and funds as many other schools do. Please help me as a first-year teacher as well as my students to provide this opportunity to incorporate STEM into their learning. I want to use all the resources donated to expand their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math. It will help them be able to make real-world connections beyond what they are reading in their textbook.

My students are young and aspiring scientists, technology lovers, mathematicians, and engineers that are full of curiosity and excitement.

These STEM-based books, kits, supplies, and resources will allow my students to immerse themselves in learning while creating and exploring through the use of STEM manipulatives as well as storage to promote such learning.

These resources will enable the students to access the resources they need to create authentic learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills from real-world experiences. The journey to creating a world full of STEM solvers begins today! These resources will be a game changer in the field of education that is sometimes forgotten about and left in the dust!

Please consider joining us and donating to this rewarding journey we are embarking on in this new STEM lab!
