My Project

I have a group of amazing third grade students this year who love everything about STEM. They enjoy building and using their imagination. The learning and building kits donated will be used to further their interests, encourage critical thinking, inspire curiosity, and give them the opportunity to use their creativity. The kits will keep them interested and excited to learn and grow. STEM education prioritizes collaboration and teamwork. These learning sets will help to teach the importance of communication and leadership towards achieving common goals. Please help me to help my students learn and grow!
