Add Steam to Our School!

Funded Feb 6, 2023

First, let me say thank you again! These activities were tried, enjoyed, and requested to be used again!

The activities were used in different settings of our school. We used them in small groups with students, during family engagement nights, at faculty and staff meetings, and for our math leagues in the building.

During family engagement nights and staff meetings, these activities were used as team building fun and activities for parents/guardians to interact with their children. The engineering kit (gravity maze) was a real hit at Family Fun night - many kids and adults took worked together to build the mazes. The Breakout Edu has been a favorite. We had both the online games and the physical box going at the same time - allowing for different ages to be working on critical thinking skills during the evening. It also served as a team building activity during the beginning of a staff meeting, and both the 5/6 grade and 7/8 grade math leagues spent time working on their critical thinking skills.

The ITC in our building is currently working on coding. The coding robot is in line for the younger kiddos shortly! These kits have really added excitement and are building a love for STEAM!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Cavanaugh
