My Project

To gain valuable experience in order to navigate an ever-changing world, I am asking for donations for STEM materials for my third-grade students. These materials will allow them to think creatively and critically, solve problems, and collaborate with classmates to reach a common goal. STEM education encourages innovation and scientific literacy and promotes experimenting.

These materials will be implemented into “STEM Bins” for my students to use on a daily basis.

They will have access to them in the morning and afternoon as a way to start and end their day. The materials will be placed in bins that students can independently walk over and get.

We appreciate any support!
