My Project

STEM Bins encourage students to create, invent, and solve. When students build towers, structures, and patterns they communicate with their peers about their creations and sometimes even combine manipulatives to build something taller or stronger. STEM activities build on a child's natural curiosity to create.

STEM education is an integrated, open-ended approach to Science and Math, using the Engineering Design Process.

STEM education develops creativity, problem-solving, reasoning, perseverance, and fine motor skills. It is a valuable and worthwhile activity for children of all ages. STEM gives students the opportunity to discover, construct, test, and explore using divergent "out of the box" thinking
