My Project

As we continue exploring real-world problems and hands-on projects, it has become evident that our current storage system is insufficient to accommodate the growing needs of our STEM activities. To allow students to explore, design, and build with ease, I am requesting donations for storage carts. These carts will help organize the materials and tools necessary for various STEM projects, making it easier for students to access and manage their resources.

The storage carts will streamline our workspace and allow students to be more independent, responsible, and organized while working on their projects.

A designated space for each item, from engineering components to rocket kits, will ensure that students can efficiently work on their designs without losing time searching for materials. Additionally, these carts will provide flexibility, as we can quickly move them around to support collaborative projects in small groups or classroom-wide activities.

We foster an environment that encourages creativity and problem-solving through well-organized storage solutions. This will also teach students valuable skills such as teamwork, organization, and project management—skills that are essential for success in the real world.

Your support would make a meaningful difference in helping our students succeed and gain hands-on experience with the STEM subjects they are passionate about.

Warm regards,

Ms. Cathey
