My Project

My creative students are learning how scientists study the world and how engineers solve problems through STEAM lessons (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math). The engineering design process is one area of focus. Using Tinkertoys is an excellent introduction to communicating ideas with physical objects.

Students need hands-on materials like Tinkertoys to complete these science and engineering lessons and develop spatial reasoning skills.

Students can complete various design challenges using these building materials, such as constructing and deconstructing, building mazes, bridges, and arches.

All students need access to Tinkertoys for their STEAM lessons. Please support students' science lessons!

Our Objectives include:

Inclusivity: To provide equal access to STEAM education for students with diverse needs, ensuring no one is left behind.

Engagement: To make STEAM learning fun and engaging, increasing interest and participation in STEAM fields.

Skill Development: To enhance critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork through building and engineering activities.

Diversity and Equity: To promote diversity in STEAM fields by inspiring students from various backgrounds and abilities.

Please help my students build their STEAM skills by donating to this project!
