I will utilize the materials I have included in the classroom community Maker Space where students can design, build, and engineer their ideas. I plan on implementing STEAM into their every day lives by utilizing the coding Robots and circuit boards. The Acer Chromebooks will help students with a 1:1 setting and open up so many technological avenues in teaching. We are a few shy for each student and only need a couple more. Students can create and build their own video games using the Bloxels which will incorporate technology into my classroom as a start. A 3D "Doodle" pen will also peak interests of students that want their illustrations and sketches to come alive. We plan to go full STEAM ahead! I want to create an environment where students can feel at home while creating their ideas and dreams. I want to also use these materials to implement a Growth Mindset. I want my students to try, experiment, create, build, and fail to learn that mistakes happen so they can persevere. Students who think and use a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset, will succeed not only in the classroom but in life. These materials listed in my Donor Choose will significantly help my students succeed in areas since most of them will not have access to them at home.
