My Project

My 2nd-grade students love using tools and hands-on resources in Math. These puzzles, building materials and other construction sets will encourage my students' creativity to produce structural designs. These STEM tools, which masquerade as toys, bring more engagement which will develop a passion for all STEM subjects.

These STEM items will help enhance students creativity as they build their knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Using STEM materials allow the students to advance in their abstract concepts and apply it to everyday activities. These workshop sessions compliment the math curriculum while building social skills as well as teamwork.
