Your kindness has made a meaningful impact on our school community by helping students find their voices and express themselves creatively.\r\n\r\nYour support has inspired students to become more involved in photography, broadcasting, and media production. More students are now excited to take photos, appear on camera, contribute to the podcast, and capture moments from school sports and events. Thanks to supporters like you, our students have greater access to professional equipment and opportunities to create high-quality content and photography.\r\n\r\nThis year, your support helped us:\r\n\r\n•\tComplete the school yearbook \r\n•\tPhotograph our Sports Banquet \r\n•\tCapture high-quality photos during the Senior Sunset event \r\n•\tTake professional-quality pictures at the Senior Picnic \r\n\r\nWe are deeply grateful for your compassion and commitment to our program. Your generosity continues to inspire our students and makes these opportunities possible every day.\r\n\r\nThank you again for standing with us and helping our students create professional photos and high-quality podcasts that showcase the spirit of our school community.\r\nSincerely,","fullyFundedDate":1777160383670,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-learning-building-a-stu/9973271/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Learning!

Thanks to your donation, we were able to purchase some calculators and DC motor parts. \r\n\r\nThe calculators are really important because in engineering and in physics (which I also teach), calculators are heavily needed. Unfortunately, the TI30xiis', while being great calculators, become unusable over time. This is because over the course of a few years, the text on the buttons rubs off and you can no longer tell what the button says.\r\n\r\nThe DC motors and fan parts are for a \"build your own fan\" lab that I do with my students. In this lab, we learn about DC motors and series circuits in order to produce a fan (which you can see in the pictures).\r\n\r\nThank you so much for making hands-on engineering possible and for supporting my students.
