My Project

Currently, I teach STEM to Pre-K to 5th grade at my school. My students are an incredibly special group—each one brings their own unique blend of creativity, curiosity, and imagination. They thrive when they have the freedom to explore, experiment, and create. They are hands-on learners, and it's a joy to watch them take ideas and transform them into tangible, innovative projects.

My students are problem-solvers who ask big questions and aren't afraid to dive into new challenges.

Code & Go Robot Mouse will spark their interest in coding and robotics. It’s a perfect starting point for introducing concepts like sequencing, logic, and problem-solving.

VIAHART Brain Flakes and LEGO Sets will tap into their creative minds, allowing them to build anything from structures to machines. The Brain Flakes set, with its interlocking discs, offers endless possibilities for imaginative construction, while the LEGO sets give them the tools to create, story-build, and play in immersive ways. Gears! Gears! Gears! and Veatree Magnetic Building Sticks sets will help my students explore engineering concepts like gear mechanisms, force, and motion.

Books like Grace for President and What Pet Should I Get? will support our iblocks Class Pet curriculums where students will be exploring coding. Storage pouches and storage bins will help keep everything tidy, ensuring that students can quickly access materials for their projects without losing pieces. Many of the current coding robots that we have in the classroom requires lots of batteries. The batteries and chargers will help power many of these technologies.
