My Students

How do you explain the difference between 2D and 3D? My 6 years old kinder students are eager to explore dimension but lack the resources.

My class has the highest achieving students.

They are creative thinkers, curious learners and unique problem solvers. Due to budget cuts, our school lacks the funding to provide authentic tools to foster these inquiry minds, we hope Donors Choose can help.

My Project

Blocks and Logs allow students to make buildings that foster the concept of 3D and encourage conversation to problem solve. Other tools challenge students to think outside the box to construct meaningful structures. These also tie into engineering a working element that's related to physics.

Many of our students come from family background that doesn't have the resources to provide these learning tools.

Your contribution will enrich their imagination, creativity, and confidence. Thank you!
