My Project

Students remember their learning when it is combined with play. When students build with magnatiles and make their own marble run, they will remember the concepts that helped their buildings work best.

Hands on science materials will help students with real world concepts; creativity, decision making, leadership, collaboration, and many more skills.

Giving students a time and place to use these skills to become innovators is my main science goal. Building with STEM items will also help with spatial awareness. When students get to build with their classmates it helps them with ideas that they can build upon even further. It's a great feeling to see students have fun and build schema using STEM based learning.
