My Project

My students are curious about how the world works. They love to tinker, build and experiment.

My goal for these material is to provide the students with tech-free STEM experiences that will allow them to plan, create, think, collaborate and experiment without traditional technology from screens.

These experiences will help foster their love of innovation as they work together to complete challenges and experiment with new materials.

The students will be motivated by these new and exciting STEM materials such as magnet marble mazes, magnetic chess games, and pixel art pieces.
