My Students

Our building is Title I and full of students who love to learn! My students are mostly black and brown. They come to school with a love to learn and a lot of energy! Many of our students are interested in science, engineering and robotics.

My Project

These materials will help my students explore their creativity by using different types of engineering materials. The students will get to explore and build in different ways. My students absolutely love being able to create without any guidelines. They love to explore and they are constantly surprising me with their ingenuity and love of engineering.

We will be able to meet our science standards through engineering challenges and free play.

Engineering standards are building into all of our grade level content. These materials will encourage students to explore engineering and teamwork in fun and exciting new ways.
