Because of you, my students have been able to dive into hands-on engineering challenges that bring learning to life. They are designing, building, testing, and improving their own creations, which helps them truly understand how science and technology work in the real world. \r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been seeing their ideas come to life. Whether they are building structures, experimenting with materials, or testing how designs perform, they light up when they realize they are the engineers behind their success. Some of my quieter students, who usually hesitate to participate, have really come out of their shells. They proudly explain their designs, share their thinking, and eagerly help classmates improve their projects.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has created meaningful learning experiences that my students will never forget. You've helped spark curiosity, confidence, and a love for STEM that will carry them far beyond our classroom. We are so grateful for your support and belief in our young engineers.","fullyFundedDate":1758587507870,"projectUrl":"project/young-engineers-in-action-stem-projects/9681985/","projectTitle":"Young Engineers in Action: STEM Projects That Shine","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Valdez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6782718_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758503369375","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6782718"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_17271","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":385,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":80,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":98,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.7,"schoolId":17271,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bill Childress Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bill Childress Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/canutillo-independent-school-district/bill-childress-elementary-school/17271"}
