My Project

Four years ago, I had my first project funded which was board games for my students to use during reward days. After four years they need to be updated and replenished.

Help me refill my games bin with brand-new STEM-related games and fun devices to enhance my classroom reward days.

My new students deserve and would enjoy brand new games when they earn a class reward day. The games that I have now have been used for the past four years and have seen better days. These new games have a STEM twist to them so they will be using critical thinking skills while having fun.

A refreshing of the games bin would be a great enhancement to my classroom and make students happy.
