My Project

I love to bring engaging STEAM toys and materials into my classroom and inspire young minds through hands-on learning!

My students are naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them, and these interactive materials will help them develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.

By incorporating STEAM toys and materials, I aim to make learning fun, accessible, and meaningful for all students. With your support, we can spark a love for science, technology, engineering, and math, empowering the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.

We need these activities to build a classroom community in which my students feel confident and excited about the things we learn together. My students are brave thinkers and doers--and the paints and Clixo in this project are just the materials we need to re-invigorate our collective learning.
