Furthermore, a STEM Closet is a sustainable investment, as many materials can be reused, benefiting multiple students over time and encouraging resource-sharing among educators.\r\n\r\nOverall, donating STEM materials to a middle school STEM Closet is a powerful way to enrich education, create opportunities for underrepresented students, support teachers, and cultivate the next generation of innovators. This initiative not only enhances the learning experience but also builds a stronger, more equitable foundation for the future of STEM education.","fullyFundedDate":1734798002515,"projectUrl":"project/stem-closet/9004071/","projectTitle":"STEM Closet","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cole","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8934401"},{"teacherId":1419049,"projectId":8751859,"letterContent":"We are so grateful you chose to fund our \"Kid's Gardening for Life\" project. When we received the soil it was too late to begin winter gardening and too early to begin the spring gardening. We used a few of the bags of soil to add to a few flower boxes we were planting, and we used pansies to beautify the front of the school. We are reserving most of the bags of soil to go into our produce container beds. When the temperature is safe to plant our students use gardening materials and plant produce such as peppers, tomatoes, melons, strawberries, and much more. We have eight produce container beds and our students enjoy going outside to prepare the soil and care for the garden crops. I apologize that we were not able to plant food items before the winter freeze and holiday closing. We liked the soil we received because it was compressed and when we had water it absorbed the water and covered a wider area. The bags are easy to carry because they are not too heavy for the students to lift. We will send photos soon.","fullyFundedDate":1730682090520,"projectUrl":"project/kids-gardening-now-for-life/8751859/","projectTitle":"Kids Gardening Now for Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mitchell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1419049_orig.jpg?crop=1223,1223,x618,y13&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1696217852053","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1419049"},{"teacherId":8934401,"projectId":7143215,"letterContent":"This interdisciplinary unit, \"Mission to Mars,\" will had a profound impact on students by fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in a real-world context.

They also gained experience in research, teamwork, and communication—essential skills for navigating the complexities of the 21st century. This project emphasized the importance of sustainability and innovation, encouraging students to think beyond Earth and imagine a future that requires adaptability and resilience.\r\n\r\nBy participating in this unit, students emerged as empowered learners equipped to address global challenges with creativity and interdisciplinary solutions.
