My Project

Creativity, collaboration and curiosity are key in any classroom. Play is an essential part of learning. Children build confidence and social skills when collaborating with others. Play fosters creativity, imagination and problem solving. Students in my class are given time to play and explore each day but we need the proper tools to do so.

Please help give my class open ended STEM tools that nurture innovation and problem solving.

All the tools in this project can be used in an endless number of ways. Students can use their imaginations and create whatever is on their minds. It can reinforce classroom concepts or be used as a way for students to work through what's happening in their daily lives. Help us give our students tools they need to succeed.
