STEM Classroom Decorating Ideas to Inspire Your Students

1. Build a Goal Setting Display – Create a wall display where students can “build” their academic or personal goals using paper cutouts of colorful construction bricks. Each student writes a goal on a brick, which you form into a large building or wall representing collective growth and collaboration.
2. Build ‘Teamwork Towers’ – Use the larger construction bricks (meant for younger children) as a teamwork motivation tool. Encourage collaboration by creating small groups, each tasked with building a tower of a certain height. Every time a group achieves a goal or milestone, they get to add another brick to their tower.
3. Create a Brick Construction-Themed Classroom Maker Space – Set up a construction-themed STEM station where students can engage in hands-on brick-building activities. Decorate with primary-colored curtains and bright bins to store materials, and use our printable templates to create your own brick-themed signs and motivational posters.
4. Create Construction-Themed Characters – On the first day of school, have students use grid paper to design a custom brick character that looks like them. Cut these out and laminate them, then use them as name tags, labels for student work displays, and more!

Pro Tip: Pair the Bright Bricks theme with a variety of real-world STEM challenges to bring your classroom and students’ brains to life!

Bulletin Board Ideas to Match Your STEM/STEAM Classroom Decorations

Create a show-stopping bulletin board that matches the bright colors and fun elements in your STEM Construction Theme Classroom Decor pack. Here are some ideas to inspire your design:

• ‘Building Bright Minds’ STEM Bulletin Board – Use our colorful construction brick cutouts and bulletin board letters to create a board titled ‘Building Bright Minds’. Throughout the year, write student names and notable achievements on brick cutouts and add them to the display. Over time, you can arrange the bricks to form a structure, like a tower or a pyramid, and use STEM-related tools like rulers, gears, and wrenches as accents.
• ‘Constructing Creativity’ STEAM Bulletin Board – Create a display that features student artistically inspired STEM creations, like product designs or blueprints. Frame their work using our colorful construction brick borders for a fun and interactive showcase.
• ‘Brick by Brick’ We Learn and Grow’ Vocabulary Display – Create a large vocabulary display using construction brick cutouts to highlight STEM and STEAM vocabulary words or concepts. Stack the bricks in a wall design, with each layer representing a new skill or idea that students have learned about.

These displays foster excitement and create a classroom vibe that encourages curiosity and hands-on STEM learning.
