Students were excited to build, test, and experiment using the STEM materials, which helped them better understand science concepts and stay engaged in their learning. Many students who were previously hesitant to participate became more confident as they worked through challenges and shared their ideas with classmates. The hands-on activities encouraged collaboration, problem-solving, and curiosity, making science a favorite part of our day.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generosity and support.
