G/T Resource STEAM ITEMS

Resources are only as good as the teachers that use them!

We are fortunate to have multiple STEAM items that are used in the GT classroom. Rather than let them sit on a shelf, request to borrow anything that is needed. To access the inventory please click HERE. (You must use your Grant Co email address to access.) If you see an item you need to borrow for a lesson, simply send an email to susan.cooper@grant.kyschools.us.
