Jim Hambel (https://x.com/JPEileenstrong) shares his MacGyver-like approach to building comprehensive physical education programs with limited budgets and resources. Drawing from his years of PE teaching experience, he demonstrates how creativity, partnerships, and resourcefulness can compensate for minimal funding.

• Utilizing relationships with sports organizations like USTA, Bowler's Ed, and PHIT America to secure free equipment and professional coaching
• Implementing bowling instruction as a pathway to teaching physical literacy, accuracy, and transferable skills
• Reaching out to local businesses to enhance PE curriculum through volunteer partnerships
• Applying for educational grants and using social media to discover new resources and teaching ideas
• Adapting instruction to work in unconventional spaces like third-floor gyms and hallways
• Emphasizing that student engagement comes from teacher creativity rather than expensive equipment
