Grant Proposal for STEM Lego Kits
I. Proposal
A. Plan
I plan to teach mathematics and science with the aid of the STEM Lego kits. These kits will help students develop critical thinking skills, increase interpersonal communication opportunities, and problem solving skills.
B. Outcomes
I anticipate students being intrigued by the STEM kits and look forward to seeing what they create from the kits in parallel with the classroom objectives we will be covering simultaneously. Students will work in groups to plan, create, test, reassess, and finalize different projects with the kits in an effort to apply the classroom lessons to real world situations.
