My Project

Our Title I school where 100 percent of our student population qualifies for free lunch, has a limited amount of STEM materials. Our students love solving problems by creating solutions using the Engineering Design Process. They learn so much by becoming engineers.

Having the Bridge Building, Chain Reaction and Wind-powered sets will allow our youngest and neurodivergent students to use more sophisticated materials in STEM class.

We will use these sets in our classrooms to learn about pushes and pulls, the impact of different forces on a structure, and the use of wind-powered energy.
