    Grant #1 – Engineering with Magformers

    By 549 Family | PROJECTS | Comments are Closed | 4 October, 2018 | 0

    Our first grant of the year was approved! We are providing funds for the Heart of the Lakes Elementary School to purchase Magformers. Magformers are intelligent magnetic construction sets that were developed for brain development of youth. Students in Kindergarten through 4th grade will be able to develop scientific thinking skills while creating a variety of project kit models. The Magformer offer students to expand their knowledge on 2D/3D shapes, the principles of magnetism, enhancing the intelligence of hands on learning, and mathematical thinking all while collaborating with classmates.

    Magformers fall under the STEAM category, which is Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. The kits are award winning STEAM activities for children. Learn more about Magformers here.
