Students have greater success learning through hands-on activities that reflect real world learning. In order to foster this learning growth, I am infusing STEM activities into my curriculum as well as leading a STEM club after school. The use of these Magformer tiles and building blocks will challenge students to use problem-solving skills and communicate effectively with their peers. These magnetic tiles will also gives my students with disabilities real world skills and helps turn them into producers in this STEM environment. It interests them, and makes them more willing and likely to socialize, building the important skill of teamwork and socialization, often lacking in the learning disabled student population. These building STEM materials will allow my students to learn science, engineering, and math concepts through hands-on exploration without even realizing how much they are learning!
