My Project

Engineering is a big part of the DNA of young learners! Elementary school is the perfect time to introduce the engineering design process through simple STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) activities. Incorporating these activities into my classroom will provide an invitation for my students to explore and engineer through play.

Incorporating STEAM activities supports students in staying engaged during complex tasks and provides an opportunity for them to think like inventors.

My goal is to create a classroom makerspace filled with a variety of materials that students can use like pattern blocks, toothpicks, playdough, popsicle sticks and other supplies. Not only will students get to create freely, but they will also be given assigned tasks to create structures to solve real-world problems.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
