Goal

The goal of the IGNITE project is to enhance STEM education for gifted students in grades k-5. 

 

Category

Learning Aids - Sunshine state book sets, robotics kits, puzzle boards, science models, engineering supplies, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

The IGNITE project will provide gifted students in grades K-5 with a variety of STEM materials, including LEGO Education kits and additional hands-on kits that align with Florida’s Science and Mathematics standards. These materials will be integrated into the classroom curriculum to support and enhance STEM instruction.

LEGO Education Kits: These versatile kits offer a wide range of building elements that promote creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students will engage in hands-on construction, Robotics programming, and problem-solving activities to explore STEM concepts.

Additional Hands-On Kits: These kits will focus on specific STEM areas (physical, earth, and life science). They will provide students with opportunities to conduct experiments, build models, and collect data.

Basic STEM materials- These materials will enable students to conduct a variety of STEM and Design challenges. Basic materials include objects that are used to design, build and test designs through hands on explorations. Example of materials - Straws, cups, string, vinegar, ect. 

 

Benefits to my students

Expected outcomes include but not limited to:

1. To equip gifted students with the necessary tools to explore STEM concepts through hands-on experimentation.

2. To cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills among students.

3. To increase student engagement and motivation in STEM subjects.

5. Build understanding and capabilities in the robotic field through a variety of robotic platforms.

4. To increase students knowledge of science and mathematic and raise academic success and test scores.

The project’s success will be evaluated through multiple measures:

Student Achievement: Pre and post-tests will be administered to assess students’ STEM knowledge and skills.

Student Engagement: Teacher observations and, student surveys will be used to measure student interest and motivation in STEM.
 

 

Budget Narrative

The materials above will purchase Lego Education robotics, stem sets, stem materials for STEM challenges, and activity STEM kits for hands on exploration.
