My Project

Hands-on learning offers numerous benefits, including enhanced engagement, improved retention, and the development of crucial skills like problem-solving and critical thinking. It also fosters creativity, encourages interaction, and caters to diverse learning styles.

My students don't have supplies at home to explore building, creating, and investigating science therefore their only outlet will be what is utilized in the classroom

By supplying them with hands on STEM activities and learning materials in the classroom they can have an advantage that other children might readily have available to them

Studies show that hands-on learning leads to better knowledge retention because students are actively processing information and applying it in real-world scenarios.
