STEAM Up Learning!

Funded Nov 28, 2017

The STEM materials that I was able to select for my second grade students using your generation donations put lots of smiles on my students' faces and lit their minds with lots of creative designs. I introduced each item one at a time and gave them no instructions. It amazed me how they constructed fidget spinners, buildings, motor vehicles, and marble runs with minimal guidance. I had 2 students that were able to look at the blueprints for the snap circuits and create a helicopter that flies.

We are currently working on a Project Based Learning activities centered around the 2018 Winter Olympics. The students have designed ski slopes using the marble run. They built lodges for the athletes to stay in using magnets. The imagination my students are showing is amazing.”
