My Project

I teach STEAM to all students in grades K-8 and they all love to use their creativity to build their engineering projects. The more variety of materials they have, the more imaginative they get. I hope you can help my students create solutions to help solve everyday problems in the world.

My students have designed and created prototypes for different types of projects like water filters, pollution solutions like automatic trash cans, and search and rescue robots.

I would like to request different arts and craft and office materials so that students can use them to create energy efficient shelters and hand pollinators. They will use different types of paper from opaque (colored foam/aluminum foil) to translucent (transparency film) so that they can create different types of shelters to block the sunlight. Students will also be using different arts and craft materials to create the best hand pollinator for plants (by using single hole punchers and floral wire). Wouldn't you like to help our students use their creativity and their knowledge of science, math, and materials to solve problems?
