MAGNA-TILES is entering year two of its partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, and its latest education advocacy initiative is to provide MAGNA-TILES sets and AAC funding to more than 200 classrooms across the country.
This partnership will help teachers and students in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma. According to AdoptAClassroom.org’s 2024 national survey, 50% of teachers need STEM classroom materials. MAGNA-TILES is providing participating teachers with multiple STEM-accredited tile sets and $300 each in AdoptAClassroom.org funding for additional supplies they need.
“Teachers spend an average of $860 of their own money on school supplies for their students each year. They shouldn’t have to spend their own money to ensure their students have access to the materials they need just to learn,” says Ann Pifer, Executive Director of AdoptAClassroom.org. “We are grateful that MAGNA-TILES is supporting teachers in a meaningful way. Teachers have always embraced the educational value of MAGNA-TILES sets, and we can’t wait to see how they will inspire their young students to build and grow.”
Since its start 27 years ago, MAGNA-TILES has become the U.S.’s top magnetic building set brand, according to data from Circana.
"MAGNA-TILES was born in the classroom, and we are proud to build on our 27-year legacy of supporting teachers and inspiring young minds. Through our multi-year partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, we are reaffirming our commitment to educators as they face new legislation requiring play-based learning curriculum. We are committed to bridging the gap, investing in our teachers and inspiring our future engineers, architects, and creative thinkers as they build on their dreams, tile by tile!"
