  • STEMtastic Magnetic Fun!

    Funded Dec 11, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation! I am so excited to be able to give my students these magnetic building materials to use in my classroom!

    The Magna-Tiles are absolutely awesome! They are perfect for creating mazes, obstacle courses, dance floors, and whatever my students imagine and they go really well with coding robots! They are so easy to use and there is not a single person who doesn't love using them.

    Thank you so much for allowing my students the opportunity to use these materials more often. I really appreciate it!”

  • Magnetic Engineering Fun!

    Funded Dec 27, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! My students absolutely LOVE anything magnetic and these magnetic blocks are awesome!!!

    Since I now have one Magformers set, my students will have to take turns sharing them, but that will give them some motivation. :)

    They can spend hours building with the Magformers and their creativity really comes through! They love working together and use their imaginations to create amazing designs.

    Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to bring such amazing things into my STEM classroom! I really appreciate it!!! Happy New Year!”

  • Robot Engineering!

    Funded Dec 10, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation! I have never tried these cute robot engineering kits before. I was really curious to see how my STEM students would respond to them. I have to say that they are a big hit with the little ones!

    My kindergarten and first-grade students jumped right in with these robot kits. They seemed to know what to do immediately. There is a book that comes with the kit to show what to do, but they were so excited to build their robots themselves, without any help.

    Thank you so much for making this possible! I am so happy to have new and exciting materials for my students to use and to make coding and engineering so much fun!”

  • STEM Class Coding!

    Funded Dec 1, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation! My STEM students have really been enjoying learning how to code! I am always looking for different ways to teach them how to code and to make it fun, engaging, and interactive for them.

    With the iPad, students are able to use coding apps, go onto coding websites, and use coding games like Osmo.

    I am still working on getting a class set of iPads/tablets, but this is definitely a huge hit and a huge help for my classroom!

    Thank you so much for making this possible! I really appreciate all of your help and support!”

  • Coding With Blue-Bot!

    Funded Dec 3, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation! Having a Blue-Bot Robot in my STEM classroom makes a huge difference!

    Students have been learning how to code and have used other robots like the Bee-Bot. Blue-Bot has so many more awesome features that make all of the students want to code with it! Blue-Bot lights up and makes sounds. You can see inside of it, which the students all really love. It is such a huge hit that I would definitely need to get more in the future so that more students can use Blue-Bot at once.

    Thank you so much for giving me the chance to expose my students to cool robots like this one and for them to have such a great time! I really appreciate all of your help and so do my students!!!!”

  • Kinderbot Robots!

    Funded Oct 16, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation! The Kinderbot Robots are the cutest robots for the little ones learning how to code! They have lights and sounds and the kids' faces all light up when they see and hear the robots!

    It looks like I will need to get more of these robots because all of the students want to use them every time they come to my STEM class! They are a huge hit!

    Students are learning all about algorithms and how to code their robots. They work with a partner and problem-solve together to get the robot to move from one place to another.

    Thank you so much and for making this possible in my classroom! I really appreciate it!!”

  • STEM Building Fun!

    Funded Nov 23, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation!

    STEM has been so much fun for me and my students. My students were so happy and really excited when they saw the new engineering materials that they were going to be able to use in my class!

    Each STEM kit comes with its own little baggie so I can easily store everything neatly. There are many colorful pieces included in each kit, and students will not run out of STEM building ideas easily.

    I want to really thank you for giving me the opportunity of being able to offer student choice with STEM building materials! It means so much and I thank you!!”

  • STEM Class Basics

    Funded Sep 23, 2021

    Thank you so much for your very generous donation to my STEM Class Basics project! I really appreciate your kindness.

    With this project, I will be able to keep a clean classroom for a while. The tissues will definitely be used up pretty quickly from the classes I see every day. I use the disinfecting wipes to wipe down my tables and keep my classroom surfaces clean. I use the Lysol spray every single day after each class exits my classroom.

    These items are so important to me and I am so grateful that because of the generosity of others, I can maintain a clean classroom.

    I am truly thankful and I hope all is well with you!”

  • Engineering Awesomeness!

    Funded Aug 6, 2021

    Thank you so, so, so much for your very generous donation!! Words cannot express my gratitude for your kindness and generosity!

    My students have developed an absolute love and passion for engineering. They truly enjoy using their imaginations to build things such as mazes for programming their robots, houses, schools, neighborhoods, and so much more. These magnetic tiles are an awesome addition to my STEM classroom because my students will have the opportunity to be even more creative with their engineering designs!

    Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for making this possible for my students!!”

  • MERGE Cubes 3D STEM Learning!

    Funded Jun 27, 2021

    Thank you so much for your generous donation and for supporting my STEM classroom!

    The MERGE Cubes are such an awesome and cool way for younger (and older) students to learn STEM concepts by making everything 3D. Everyone will get a kick out of seeing everything they would like to learn about pop up right before their eyes. These MERGE cubes are going to make my STEM lessons so much more interesting and the hands-on experience will be unlike any other.

    I thank you so much for the opportunity to be creative with my students and for believing in me, my students, and my classroom. Thank you so much.”

I am a STEM teacher at P.S. 123Q in South Ozone Park, New York, a Title 1 school. I strive to make Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math exciting, engaging, and fun using a hands-on approach. I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade and challenge my students to solve real world problems in creative ways. Recently, I have joined the CS4All Cohort (Computer Science Education) and will begin teaching code using programs such as Scratch. I am so excited and have so many amazing computer science lessons planned for each grade.
