Instead of only sketching ideas on paper, they can now create precise, detailed models that mirror real-world engineering practices. This technology allows them to test, adjust, and perfect their concepts before moving on to the actual build, which not only saves time and materials but also helps them understand the connection between design and functionality. For many students, seeing their virtual designs come to life as tangible assets in the workshop is both validating and inspiring.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is the transition from screen to hands-on. They love watching their digital designs become real objects they can hold, test, and improve. Several students who were initially hesitant about engineering have especially warmed up to this process—they may not have been confident with tools at first, but the ability to visualize and plan their ideas through CADD gave them the confidence to dive into the building stage. It's been particularly exciting to see students who are naturally creative or detail-oriented thrive with this technology, as they can apply their imagination in a structured, real-world way. Overall, CADD has become a tool that sparks enthusiasm, ownership, and pride in their work.","fullyFundedDate":1743946921067,"projectUrl":"project/fund-the-basics/9236251/","projectTitle":"Fund the Basics","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8884495_orig.jpg?crop=398,398,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1690533725174","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8884495"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35424","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":672,"numTeachers":41,"percentFrplEligible":53,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":2,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":35424,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Clarkston High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Clarkston High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/clarkston-school-district-j-250-185/clarkston-high-school/35424"}
