My Project

My students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world through hands-on learning. They thrive when given opportunities to engage in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) activities that challenge their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

With the resources I’m requesting—such as robotics kits, art supplies, and engineering tools—students will be able to build, experiment, and innovate in ways that traditional learning methods don’t always allow.

These materials will help bring lessons to life, fostering collaboration and excitement in the classroom.

My goal is to provide an engaging, project-based learning environment where students can apply STEAM concepts in meaningful ways. This project will empower them to think like engineers, artists, and scientists—preparing them for a future where creativity and problem-solving are key to success!
