STEM-tastic Braves Love Learning

Help me give my students a collection of STEM activities that will be used in the classroom to teach. I want my students to have more hands-on and real life experiences.

My Project

Help me get some wonderful STEM materials to help solidify concepts we are learning. Bringing these concepts to life will not only make students’ learning more hands-on, but also make them more excited about math and science

I want my students to be excited about learning.

My students are very active and love learning especially when they have hands-on materials. I want to expand my classroom and have more STEM activities and materials that will help them understand what they are learning. Having these hands-on materials will help my students have confidence in their learning as they are having fun. The items I am requesting help them to have a concrete understanding of everything they need to know. With your donation, I can create an environment where my students can actively explore, experiment, and innovate, helping them build confidence in their abilities. This will also inspire them to consider a future in the STEM fields.
