My students need two K'Nex Real Bridges Education Sets for a bridges unit in their Robotics and Engineering class.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Taylor's classroom raised $483
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach 8th Grade Science and Robotics at a high-need, Title I middle school. My school is located in a high-poverty community, which affects the amount of resources my students are able to receive. Almost 80% of the student population receives free or reduced lunch.
My students are growing up in a technology based society without the resources and exposure due to their economic/social status.
My goal is to help mold them into twenty-first century thinkers that are ready for a technologically based world through STEM(science, technology, engineering, and math)and critical thinking activities.
In my robotics/engineering class, my students are very excited and engaged in their learning and want to become twenty-first century learners. I want to give them the necessary skills to be successful in school and in this tough, critical thinking based world.
My school recently became a STEM school but doesn't have the funding for resources due to the economic situation. My students need the hands-on engineering activities that will develop the skills to help be successful in our ever changing world.
My Project
These resources will give my students the ability to gain STEM skills that will make them twenty-first century learners. The K'Nex Real Bridges materials will give them the academic edge to be successful in school and in the real world. Through the bridge building activities and lessons, the students will gain an understanding of necessary knowledge that goes into bridge building, forces, aspect of civil engineering, and more.
Your help will ensure my students will have the opportunity to be competitive in this twenty-first century world by allow them to gain STEM and other critical thinking skills.
You will make it possible for these children to become twenty-first century thinkers. Thank you so much for caring!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
