Teacher & librarian Amy Brownlee dreamed of implementing an elementary STEM program, “but felt overwhelmed because I didn’t have the funds … or the knowledge of where to start.” Here’s how she created a low-cost, high-impact model you can replicate at your school! 🤩 #ElementaryTeacher #STEM #TLSky

Low-Cost, High-Interest Elementary STEM Activities

Teachers can build an engaging STEM program on a limited budget by going slowly and adding one activity at a time—which also gives them time to learn.
