The new Chromebook has become the crown jewel of the room—students practically form a polite-but-determined stampede to use it. They explore interactive math tools, graph functions with the confidence of tiny mathematicians, and occasionally ask, \"Wait...this is actually kind of fun?\" which, as you can imagine, is the highest praise a teenager can give.\r\nThe whiteboard erasers have also become unlikely heroes. Before, our boards looked like abstract art pieces created by someone who had never met a clean surface. Now, students eagerly jump up to revise their work, collaborate, and erase with the enthusiasm of people who've just discovered the joy of a fresh start. And the timers? They've turned every activity into a high‑stakes game show—minus the cash prizes, but plus a lot more learning. These tools have brought structure, excitement, and a surprising amount of laughter into our daily routine.\r\nYour support didn't just provide supplies—it gave my students a classroom that matches their energy, their potential, and their wonderfully chaotic brilliance. They feel more confident, more engaged, and more empowered to take charge of their learning. Thank you for helping them grow, thrive, and occasionally shout \"I GOT IT!\" loud enough to startle the class next door.","fullyFundedDate":1769261778114,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-and-calm-corner/10048904/","projectTitle":"Cozy and Calm Corner","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"},{"teacherId":116450,"projectId":9904830,"letterContent":"Thanks to your support, our Chromebook charging station has become the unsung hero of Girls Who Code—quietly keeping laptops powered, organized, and no longer mysteriously missing cables. Instead of starting meetings with a scavenger hunt for charged devices, students can jump straight into coding, testing games, and bringing their ideas to life. The ease of charging and storing laptops has made our club time smoother, calmer, and far more productive (which is no small feat with excited programmers in the room). With technology ready to go, students spend more time collaborating, problem-solving, and laughing through debugging challenges. Your generosity has helped create a space where creativity thrives—and where the only thing running out is time, not battery life.","fullyFundedDate":1764694964549,"projectUrl":"project/cart-of-creativity/9904830/","projectTitle":"Cart of Creativity","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"},{"teacherId":116450,"projectId":9362617,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for gifting us a laptop screen extender—our teaching world just doubled in size! Now I can keep student code on one screen and their math graphs on the other, instead of playing digital hide-and-seek with windows. My students joke that I look like a \"real hacker\" now, but I promise I'm only hacking away at lesson plans. This tool makes it easier to give them the attention and clarity they deserve, and it truly lightens the load in our busy classroom. Your kindness has stretched our resources further than any screen could, and we are deeply grateful for your support.\r\n\r\nWith appreciation (and slightly less squinting),","fullyFundedDate":1750255594408,"projectUrl":"project/contender-for-laptop-screen-extender/9362617/","projectTitle":"Contender for Laptop Screen Extender","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"},{"teacherId":116450,"projectId":9272490,"letterContent":"I want to sincerely thank you for your generous contribution toward classroom essentials like pencils, a pencil sharpener, an electric stapler, and post-it notes. These may seem like small items, but they have had a major impact on how we operate day-to-day. With these resources readily available, students are now consistently equipped with the tools they need to fully engage in our lessons. It's helped shift our energy away from scrambling for supplies and back onto learning.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students immediately fell into a smooth routine—they'd grab what they needed and get straight to work. The excuses disappeared, and the focus returned to the task at hand. That sense of readiness and responsibility is something we're incredibly proud of. Your support has made our classroom more efficient, empowering students to be present, prepared, and productive.","fullyFundedDate":1746663840257,"projectUrl":"project/we-need-the-basics/9272490/","projectTitle":"We Need the Basics!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"},{"teacherId":116450,"projectId":9095126,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your incredible generosity in providing snacks for our classroom through your recent grant. Since receiving the snacks in May, they've become an essential part of our daily routine. Students now know they can stop by whenever hunger strikes, grab a juice or snack, and return to their work feeling more focused and ready to learn. Your support has helped eliminate a major distraction and created a more welcoming, nurturing environment for every student who walks through our door.\r\n\r\nWhen the snacks first arrived, the excitement was off the charts! Students lit up when they saw the wide variety of options—chips, beef jerky, juice boxes—you name it. Every item was gone in no time, a true testament to how appreciated and needed these resources were. Your kindness didn't just fill bellies—it lifted spirits. We are truly grateful for your investment in both the well-being and academic success of our students.","fullyFundedDate":1746624216442,"projectUrl":"project/scholarly-snacks/9095126/","projectTitle":"Scholarly Snacks","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"},{"teacherId":116450,"projectId":9097658,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping our students upgrade from \"pencil-and-paper plotting\" to the world of graphing calculators! These devices are more than just buttons and screens—they're tickets to deeper understanding, fewer math headaches, and maybe even fewer doodles in the margins. My students are already joking that they feel like \"real mathematicians\" now, and I can't argue with them. Your kindness has turned what could have been a steep slope into a positive curve (pun fully intended). We are truly grateful for your support, and we promise to put these calculators to work solving problems, not just calculating how many slices of pizza we can afford.","fullyFundedDate":1746663727027,"projectUrl":"project/graphing-calculators-for-the-kids/9097658/","projectTitle":"Graphing Calculators for the Kids!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Walker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/116450"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_5932","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":337,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":27,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.1,"schoolId":5932,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/bronx-english-tech-academy/5932"}
