My Project

Building models can be a powerful tool for helping students understand STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts. With the use of models, students can visualize concepts. Models provide a tangible representation of abstract concepts, making it easier for students to visualize complex ideas and provide hands on learning experiences!

Our goal is to provide these students the opportunity to apply what they've learned in Chemistry into models that help them understand complex and abstract concepts.

The bins will be used to organize all of our STEM model materials. Experiments, model design and redesigning can actually get so messy! We need help getting these students organized.

Our students are special because we are a wall-to-wall Title 1 school with all students receiving free or reduced meals. And most come from under served members of the community.
