One of my main goals as a teacher is to teach my students how to think critically and solve problems. I strive to provide an environment in which integrated teaching is key. STEM education fosters students natural sense of curiosity and innovation. Using the STEM Kits will make core subjects like math and science relevant to my students as well as foster creativity and curiosity. The books provided in this kit will also provide a student friendly explanation of STEM related careers and build on their STEM interest. Through the project based ideas provided in the different kits, my students will be engaged in collaborative activities that connect to solving real world challenges. The learning labs provided in this bundle will give students the opportunity to explore, experiment, construct and solve problems logically. Creativity leads to innovative thinking which create opportunities for grown and development. Skills that students can learn and retain to become creative adults.
