My Project

STEAM learning is an important part of every child's education. It fosters critical thinking and problem solving skills as well as encourages cooperation and team work among children. Students who participate in STEAM activities develop strong communication skills and have many opportunities to come up with new and creative ways to solve problems. Supplying children with a variety of ways to explore the materials that I am requesting will help them develop curiosity and self confidence as they try new experiences that will foster a life long love for learning.
