From Pieces to People: Together, We’re Building History for America’s 250
This Giving Tuesday, Thinking Nation and Cubles are teaming up to celebrate 250 years of American democracy!
Your gift helps us design, produce, and distribute Cubles models paired with Thinking Nation’s critical thinking-based lessons. Cubles are buildable figurines of diverse American changemakers that help engage students with the lesson they are learning.
Together, these resources provide students with hands-on opportunities to explore the people who have shaped our nation.
How You Can Be Part of History
When making your donation, you are asked to select between making a direct donation to Thinking Nation or to gift a teacher Cubles. If you are choosing to make a gift, please select "Dedicate My Donation" and choose "In honor of." This way, we can get your gift to the classroom you want!
Sponsor a classroom for $50 to provide Cubles and curriculum to 25 students. You can do this for as many classrooms as you would like, and you can also send the gift directly to a teacher of your choice! Don't have a teacher in mind? We can send your gift to a teacher who has requested the lessons.
Donate any amount to support Thinking Nation in the cost to design and produce both the lesson plans and Cubles.
