My Project

Here's a whiz-bang way to learn about solar powered with B-U-G-S! I am a STEAM teacher & I want my kindergarteners to learn all about the glories of solar power in a fun & engaging way! But let's not stop there, my special education students need some bounce to start their year with! Students will engineer/build their own solar-powered bugs that will then crawl all over the place. In this way, the content of what solar power is and how it can impact our planet in a positive manner (decreasing carbon emissions) can open a world of possibilities for the future leaders of our planet.

It will be a "hopping" good time for our special education students in K-5th grade who need some bounce to start their year off right!

New playground equipment such as hopping balls will really make their day as they practice jumping and developing gross motor skills!
