My Project

Hands-on project based learning is extremely important in grade school. It provides children the chance to plan, problem solve, develop critical thinking skills, and use their imagination. Magna-Tiles are great tools for our future urban planners, engineers, and designers to explore. These kinds of projects could inspire our future generations to combat climate change, use more renewable energy sources, and even fly to new planets. Please give my students the opportunity to build a growth mindset into the future. I truly appreciate any amount you are able to donate!
