Stem Students Need Building Materials

Help me give my students items to show their building skills. Students need Legos to complete some of the engineering challenges. Magnetic manipulatives and building tools help with learning about magnets and magnetic properties.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a STEM teacher, it is important to allow my students opportunities to learn about various techniques and materials. Students are given materials, manipulatives, and tools to create a visual representation of their learning and their skill.

Our program is in need of Legos and magnetic building supplies to give students opportunity to create and build things they are proud of.

The students want to create amazing projects and I want to help provide the materials they ask for to do this.

My students love STEM and look forward to completing the tasks. I ask that you help me give them materials to be able to do that. The materials will help the students with their projects and will help to alleviate the frustration that comes with not having enough materials.
