Turning Play Into Possibility—Support Our STEM Journey

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore, build, and discover with STEM toys that spark curiosity and hands-on learning every day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rizzo's classroom raised $356

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom is filled with bright, curious learners who thrive when given the chance to explore with their hands and minds. As a Title I school, many of our students face challenges outside the classroom, so it's especially important that our learning space is filled with tools that spark joy, creativity, and discovery.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys give students the opportunity to build, experiment, and solve problems in fun and meaningful ways.

These materials encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and innovation—all skills they'll carry with them far beyond the classroom.

With your support, we can bring more hands-on learning experiences into our room. Every donation helps create a space where students feel empowered to tinker, imagine, and dream big. Thank you for helping us turn everyday play into powerful learning!
