Osmo enables students to manipulate real-world objects—such as coding blocks, tangram shapes, and number tiles—that are instantly mirrored on a tablet screen. This \"embodied learning\" approach is essential for developing foundational STEM skills like computational thinking, spatial reasoning, and mathematical fluency in a way that aligns with kinesthetic and visual learning styles. Unlike passive digital consumption, these interactive challenges require children to think critically and apply abstract concepts to tangible problems, effectively preparing them for future technological landscapes.\r\nFurthermore, Osmo fosters the essential \"soft skills\" that drive innovation within the STEM fields, specifically collaboration, creativity, and resilience. Many Osmo games are designed for multiple players, encouraging students to communicate, negotiate, and work together toward common goals. The platform provides a low-stakes environment where trial-and-error is celebrated, allowing students to build confidence and \"future-proof\" their skill sets by experimenting with complex ideas without the fear of failure.","fullyFundedDate":1755731401159,"projectUrl":"project/all-hands-on-deck-for-interactive-learni/9546114/","projectTitle":"All Hands On Deck for Interactive Learning STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Parker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10111173"},{"teacherId":7864483,"projectId":9727257,"letterContent":"On behalf of our entire school community, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generous donations in support of our students. Your kindness is more than a contribution—it is an investment in the future, a vote of confidence in young people, and a powerful reminder that when a community comes together, extraordinary things become possible.\r\n\r\nEvery day, our students walk through the doors with dreams, curiosity, and the desire to grow. Your support helps ensure that those dreams are not limited by financial barriers or lack of resources. Because of your generosity, students have access to the tools, materials, and opportunities they need to learn, explore, and thrive. Whether it is classroom supplies, technology, extracurricular programs, or essential support services, your contributions directly shape the quality of their educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1758492155762,"projectUrl":"project/life-cycles/9727257/","projectTitle":"Life Cycles","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Werner-Bass ROOM 509","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7864483_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1621300153454","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7864483"},{"teacherId":7792310,"projectId":9581609,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous financial support of our project. Your contribution has made a real and immediate difference in the students' learning.\r\n\r\nBecause of your donation, we were able to purchase new equipment, in particular an iPad keyboard, which transformed how our students learn and share their ideas. This might sound like a small thing, but in our classroom, it has been transformative.\r\n\r\nWith the iPad and keyboard, students can now run activities and presentations independently, without relying on the teacher to control everything from the front of the room. They can fill up their text books in small teams, and then share their findings more widely on the smart board. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create a more student-centered classroom, where learners actively participate, collaborate, and share their voices.

Because of you, my students now have access to meaningful resources that are already making a powerful impact on their learning. We are using the new science table as a dedicated space for hands-on experiments, group investigations, and collaborative discussions. The science kits have allowed students to explore concepts in a tangible way, while the science and social studies posters now serve as daily visual references that reinforce key vocabulary and ideas across our lessons.\r\n\r\nOne especially memorable moment was when students used the science kits at the new table for the first time. They worked together to observe, question, and test ideas, just like real scientists. I watched students who are usually hesitant to participate become fully engaged—asking questions, sharing predictions, and celebrating discoveries. The table has truly become a hub of curiosity and teamwork in our classroom.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the materials, their excitement was immediate and heartfelt. They cheered when they noticed the science table and eagerly gathered around as we unpacked the kits and posters. The certificates for science, social studies, and writing awards were met with big smiles and proud conversations about future goals. Students were already talking about how hard they wanted to work to earn one of those awards, which has added an extra layer of motivation and pride to our classroom culture.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, these resources will continue to support our current lessons and upcoming projects. Students are beginning a cross-curricular unit that connects science and social studies, where they will research, experiment, and present their findings using the posters and kits as guides. The science table will remain a central space for collaboration, while the certificates will help us celebrate growth and achievement along the way. Thank you for giving our students this opportunity to learn, explore, and feel proud of their accomplishments. Your generosity has truly made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1758193682510,"projectUrl":"project/making-scientists-historians-politicia/9532714/","projectTitle":"Making Scientists, Historians, Politicians, and Geographers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Martinez Lopez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8136745_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1644279532699","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8136745"},{"teacherId":10111176,"projectId":9532864,"letterContent":"Thank you SO MUCH from all the elementary students at CIVICA.
