I am excited to share that I was awarded a STEM equipment grant from the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh for my school! We obtained six Snap Circuits STEM Student Packs and nine Squishy Circuits Lite Kits.
I am currently a 5th grade Math and Sciences teacher, in a departmentalized Title I elementary school, and have created a STEM Center rotation during my Math class. My students work collaboratively, within their Math groups, to solve various STEM problems I pose, following the Engineering Design Process.
Some of my goals for my students is to build their problem solving resilience, become effective communicators (with their teams and written explanation of their results), and expose them to various STEM career opportunities for their future. Being awarded grants, like this SACP grant, helps me achieve this goal!
