During the last two years, my classroom has been a place where creativity has played an important role in the education of my students. My school is part of the STEAM project and as a teacher, I make sure to integrate Math and Science in the design of projects where we apply what we have learned in class while engaging in creative projects that stimulate the engineering process. My class is a lab for futures scientists, engineers, inventors, and teachers. We are preparing the students of today for the challenges that they will be facing tomorrow. Where many people see trash, I see materials for my students' creations. I need your help in creating a STEAM Station in my classroom. Recycled materials such as plastic cups of all sizes, yarn, styrofoam pieces, cardboard, paper, corks, pieces of wood, wire, and more, are stored everywhere in carboard boxes labeled STEAM BOX, but with no accessibility at all. My STEAM materials and tools need a handy place, like the Copernicus STEM Station, which allows students to explore their own creativity and develop solutions to solve real problems in an organized manner.
