My Project

Every student deserves the opportunity to explore and create, using both their imagination and critical thinking skills. That’s why I am asking for your help to provide essential art and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) supplies for my classroom. These materials will give my students the tools they need to not only learn but thrive, combining creativity with problem-solving and hands-on exploration.

In our classroom, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing.

Whether designing a device to hold and protect something, painting a portrait and laminating it, or building a masterpiece out of our quilling paper, the arts and STEM subjects work together to encourage students to think critically, collaborate, and explore the world around them.

The combination of art and STEM provides students with a well-rounded education that nurtures both their creativity and their analytical skills. These supplies will give my students the opportunity to engage in project-based learning, where they can apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world challenges and to think outside of the box.
