Just as I expected the project was met with much enthusiasm. I am watching these 6th graders learning the intricacies of transferring ideas from 2d to 3D. They come up with an image and we brainstorm about how it will translate into a 3D object. How can we create this shape or what will form that one? I can see the wheels turning. \r\nThis is such a good experience for them. They have to think in a different way. They have to work at problem solving. THey find ways it works and ways it doesn't.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your help in making this happen. This learning is so valuable! Every single donation made a difference.

This new addition has already had a powerful impact on our daily routines and learning environment.\r\n\r\nHaving the TV has allowed me to clearly display the daily schedule, class expectations, and learning objectives in a way that all students can see at a glance. This has brought a sense of structure and consistency to our classroom, which has helped students stay focused and better manage their time. For many of my students, seeing a visual representation of what to expect each day reduces anxiety and helps them feel more prepared to learn.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students is how engaging and interactive the TV makes our classroom feel. They love coming in and immediately checking the screen to see what's coming up for the day. It's also been a great tool for displaying visual instructions, timers, and even student work, which adds an extra layer of motivation and pride.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular, who often struggled with transitions and staying on task, has really connected with this new technology. Being able to see our schedule displayed clearly throughout the day has helped them feel more secure and in control. They now check the TV regularly to self-monitor and anticipate what's next, which has led to noticeable improvements in their focus and independence.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your kindness and support.

The ability to seamlessly navigate between different aspects of their programming work has greatly improved their workflow and problem-solving capabilities.\r\n\r\nOur students and mentors use these monitors daily as they collaborate on programming, troubleshoot robot functions, and refine their code. The vertical orientation is especially helpful when reviewing long lines of code, making it easier to spot errors and optimize performance. Many students who were initially hesitant about coding have become more engaged and confident, simply because they now have a setup that supports their learning in a professional and practical way.
