They were the first to jump in, already working to design and print custom propellers for their drones. At the same time, students in our CMA classes have been using what they've learned to teach their classmates how to design 3D models, turning the printers into a hub for collaboration and peer learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has not just added new equipment to my classroom —it has opened the door to innovation, teamwork, and real-world problem solving for our students. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunities you have made possible.","fullyFundedDate":1760696397391,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printer-is-needed-for-8th-grade-desig/9442434/","projectTitle":"3D Printer Is Needed for 8th Grade Design Projects","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Revelins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9065757_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723385521283","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9065757"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_25701","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":427,"numTeachers":53,"percentFrplEligible":2,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":81,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"8.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":25701,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Charles J Caruso Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Charles J Caruso Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/deerfield-public-school-district-109/charles-j-caruso-middle-school/25701"}
