My Project

My students love coming to the STEM Lab each week. They want to do hands-on, learn, explore, and figure things out. We go through a lot of supplies in order to make and take projects home.

This project will give us replacement consumables to keep our hands-on STEM going with fun and educational projects this year.

Solo Cups, coffee filters, buttons, 3Doodler filaments, feathers, water beads, fake snow, and many more items get used up during our classes, because students are creating and engineering. This project will allow us to continue doing STEM while stacking, building, making models, and sorting.
