My Project

This year our school started a STEAM class to help students channel their creativity while incorporating science standards! The kids love learning about famous artists, building with the 3D printer and researching about the universe.

Beginning next month, our students will begin a unit on insects and animal habitats and what better way to learn more than observing an ant farm!

We currently have one small farm but would like to expand their community so multiple students and classes can observe at the same time. With your help we can make this dream a reality!
