My Project

My students are AMAZING! They are hard working, thoughtful and caring. We do many challenging things at school, like science, math and engineering. Sometimes my students need extra motivation and support. These materials, like axolotl plushies, social skills game and take a break kit, will help my students do hard things. The comfortable seating will encourage group work--collaboration is the key to successful engineers and scientists.

My students are the next generation's engineers, dentists, school teachers and senators--they need these supplies to learn about our world, themselves and their communities.

Thank you for your incredible support and helping my engineers be successful.
