My Project

My engineering class is more than just a classroom; it is a dynamic, hands-on environment where students are encouraged to explore, innovate, and apply their knowledge to real-world problems. Through various projects and experiments, I am dedicated to nurturing my students' problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, preparing them for a future where these skills are in high demand.

Our classroom requires supplies that will significantly enhance the quality of their learning experiences.

I believe in the power of learning through hands-on experiences.

Students genuinely grasp concepts and principles of engineering. They design and build prototypes, conduct experiments, or collaborate on team projects. My students’ creativity and potential are limited without access to these materials, including posterboard, cardstock, glue tape, magnetic hooks, and other STEM building supplies.
