My Project

“Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations.” Stephen Hawking put this so eloquently. Students in my class are dedicated to science. They enjoy learning about different phenomenons and marvel over the vastness of this subject. They like to use hands-on investigations and technology as a source of research for projects or to further their understanding.

Having STEM Solar Robot Kits will help my students to get excited about science with hands-on applications of the science concepts we are studying.

The NGSS standards are embedded in STEM activities. This project will help my students to think like scientists and engineers. These materials include solar panels and all the items needed to build a robot. Your donation to this project will help build even more enthusiasm in science.

STEM activities such as Solar Robot Kits inspire students to use their minds and truly think. Embedded in the Common Core Science Standards this activity will help the process of critical thinking. Thank you for helping my class to work towards their potential and learn about new and old science concepts.
