I wanted to reach out since your group attended STEM Fest and see if you’d be interested in a classroom visit from myself and Frances Head. This can be for the day, a class period, or an after school program.

We can offer the following activities:

·         Ozobots

·         Vernier Lab Quests with: Gas pressure sensors, light sensors, magnetic field sensors, temperature probes, voltage probes, pH sensors, conductivity probes, dual range force sensors, and motion detectors

·         Whiz Builders

·         Snap Circuits Jr-100 Electronics Discovery Kit

·         Lego Simple Machines Set

·         Newton’s Laws by Engino

·         Buildings and Bridge structures by Engino

·         Lego Classic set (students are given a STEM challenge and design and build their own creation)

·         Straws & connectors-creative building design set

·         K’Nex Moving Creations (recommended grades 3-6)
