The moment they were introduced, the energy in our classroom shifted. There is a new buzz of excitement as students dive into their challenges, completely absorbed in the process of creating, building, and problem-solving. They are so engaged in the hands-on tasks that they are learning foundational science and engineering concepts without even realizing it.\r\n\r\nFor these students, who often struggle with a desire to learn, the change has been truly remarkable. The STEM bins have sparked a level of natural curiosity I have been working so hard to foster. I now overhear rich conversations about why one structure is stronger than another and watch students collaborate to investigate new solutions. You have not just given them materials; you have given them a new and exciting reason to come to school and a tangible way to see their own ideas come to life.
