Unlocking Future STEM Leaders and Innovators

Funded Aug 13, 2023

I'd like to thank you for your donations to our "Unlocking Future STEM Leaders and Innovators" project. I wish you could have seen the looks on the students' faces when package after package showed up at our classroom, they were beyond excited to see the contents inside. One of the students even commented that it was like "Christmas morning"!

The STEM materials are a huge hit with all my students. Their creativity skills and perseverance are being challenged daily. Students are developing the skills of cooperation when asked to design, build, evaluate and present projects in cooperative groups. Projects such as: building a house for the Three Little Pigs to escape the Big Bad Wolf and designing a maze leading to favorite Halloween characters. The projects are highly engaging and students are motivated to tackle the challenges presented. Our next project is to create a sleigh for the Grinch that can hold the most weight. We can't wait to get started on designing that one!

I believe the materials you donated to our classroom are igniting motivation in my students. I witness their excitement for learning and working together to accomplish collective goals, and I believe we are developing innovators of the future.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Grady
