My Project

STEM bins encourage students to create, invent, and tackle problems using real-world challenges. These bins will be integrated into classroom activities to enhance creative thinking and problem-solving. Students will engage in conversations that demonstrate complex thinking strategies. Each morning, students will arrive ready to play and learn, with these bins as one of their initial activities. My hope is that these STEM bins will spark student imagination and support areas, such as language development, creative thinking, and problem-solving. Emphasizing hands-on learning with real-world applications helps cultivate a variety of skills, including creativity and twenty-first-century competencies.
