I have worked at Title 1 schools my entire career, and you have no idea how grateful I am to feel seen. Please know how much I appreciate receiving this donation. The color printer has allowed me to truly elevate my students' work. I teach a curriculum designed by Project Lead the Way, which empowers students to engage in various engineering and STEM-related projects. Our specific class is called Design and Modeling; it focuses on teaching 6th-grade students the Engineering Design Process, culminating in a project where students design and create a toy for a child with cerebral palsy. \r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to learn that they will be able to print their designs in color this year, allowing them to elevate their presentations for our annual STEM competition. So far, I have already been able to print their \"Research and Engineer\" projects, and the students are so excited to see their Tinkercad designs brought to life on paper. Thank you again. Your contribution will not only impact my current students but many future classes as well.","fullyFundedDate":1758769685640,"projectUrl":"project/help-east-las-future-engineers-bring-th/9568040/","projectTitle":"Help East LA's Future Engineers Bring Their Ideas to Life!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Jacobo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6608775"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108948","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":298,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.9,"schoolId":108948,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Animo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Animo Ellen Ochoa Charter Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/los-angeles-unified-school-district/animo-ellen-ochoa-charter-middle-school/108948"}
