My Students

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." -Albert Einstein We are just getting started on a great journey! We are so very excited to create the most interesting and engaging environment for our young engineers.

Our students are amazing, excited 2nd and 3rd graders ready to take on a new challenge.

Our students are anxious to get started in the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. We have a gorgeous new school building, fabulous new technology, and teachers ready to foster the love of learning and discovery.

My Project

We envision our young engineers creating and building whatever they can imagine. They need materials to create and experiment. We currently don't have a lot of these materials on hand. We want to provide our students the opportunity to bring their ideas to life through doing. We need a variety of materials to make this happen. We are asking for Play-Doh and craft materials, magnet rolls and plank blocks, looms, golf tees, gears, Legos, marbles and game pieces, and various other materials to support their creativity. We can't wait to see how their ideas come to life. We envision an environment where young makers can create whatever they can imagine!

Our young STEM students learn by DOING.

With the help of these craft and building materials our students will be able to do just that! They can then take these skills and apply them to real life building materials on a much larger scale. We would love to have our pod stocked so that our students are only limited by their own imaginations!
