The Golden Ladder of Giving

🪜 Climb higher with an engineering challenge that builds character!

Students discover that the greatest acts of generosity are about more than giving—they're about helping others with dignity. Inspired by Maimonides' timeless Golden Ladder of Giving and the powerful story More Than Enough, they'll explore the eight levels of giving before building a model ladder that represents each step from the simplest act of kindness to the highest form of generosity.

Blending hands-on design, thoughtful reflection, and meaningful discussions, this STEM with Soul lesson encourages students to grow as problem-solvers while practicing dignity, giving back, and responsibility.

Students will discover that every act of generosity matters—and that we can all climb higher by helping others in ways that build hope, independence, and respect.
