Empowering Young Engineers: Keva Planks & Magnetic Tiles for STEM

Funded Jul 22, 2024

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support in providing magnet tiles and KEVA planks to our elementary classroom. From the moment these materials arrived, the energy in the classroom shifted. The magnet tiles and KEVA planks have become tools of imagination, encouraging my students to explore their own creative potential while building complex structures, experimenting with patterns, and solving challenges. As they create buildings, bridges, and entire cities from their minds, their imaginations are stretched, and their critical thinking skills come to life in tangible ways. As soon as we unboxed the materials I heard students exclaiming "Wow these are so cool!".

Whether it's a student who excels academically or one with special education needs, the magnet tiles and KEVA planks invite all children to participate fully. For my special education students, this has been particularly profound.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Murphy
