Students rotate through these bins during our STEM sessions, giving them the opportunity to interact with all of the items you helped provide. This structure has encouraged teamwork, creativity, and hands-on learning in such meaningful ways, as well as giving brain breaks where the students are continuing to work collaboratively together and have great conversations.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping make our classroom a place where curiosity thrives and learning feels like an adventure.
