My Students

My learners come to the Innovation Center are happy, excited, and ready to learn. These students love creating with their hands and enjoy participating in STEM activities aligned to engaging stories.

Forget Disney, the Innovation Center truly is the happiest place on earth!

My Innovative Learners are excited to be in our Innovation Center where they are challenged, engaged, and their personalities and differences are honored and respected. Each day with them is exciting and full of learning and fun. I can't imagine spending my life anywhere else than in our Center.

My Project

The learners who visit my Innovation Center are curious, excited, and ready to learn. They enjoy building, creating, and solving problems. I need engaging books on a variety of topics that will hook their curiosity.

The books I am requesting will spark curiosity in my students and will inspire them to think outside the box when solving real world problems.

These books are on various topics that I can share with my students and then create interest in different aspects of science. With these various titles, I can create STEM activities that will engage my learners in the Innovation Center.
