My Project

At our school, we have several classrooms that do not have STEM bins or STEM challenges. Throughout the day, these teachers need some time for their kids to explore and learn more through STEM.

With your donation, kindergarten and first-grade classrooms will now have STEM sets to have for their very own classrooms!

I believe this will not only help our students explore and get creative, but I think this will also help with teamwork, sharing, and some social skills that new-to-school kiddos will need to have in order to learn and grow!
