Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 20

Through the use of STEAM exploration activities, my students had fun building and creating during STEAM time in our classroom. They worked collaboratively and had fun building structures that they believed could withstand a severe weather storm. They used some of the steam bins to take brain breaks, which helped them stay engaged in their daily learning activities. Receieving these STEAM activities allowed me to engage my students in more hands-on learning experiences. It has made learning more fun and interactive, which helped to keep all of my students engaged and eager to learn and explore new ideas, while working hands-on with their classmates.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

The goal of this grant is to give my students the opportunity to engage in Science and Mathematics activities through the use of hands-on Stem activities, that allow them to be creative and work as a team. 

 

What will be done with my students

My students will be given opportunities to build, create and use critical thinking skills during Science, Math & Social Studies explorations in small groups. 

 

Benefits to my students

My students will be given time to use their critical thinking skills and work in small groups to accomplish various tasks and work as a team. As a result, my students will learn how to work together, set goals and create new and exciting things. Time spent working together will teach my students how to be independent thinkers and accomplish goals that they set, through the use of exploration, engagement and shared learning experiences.
