Our students have enjoyed learning how to design and create their own projects; such as designing their own jewelry box. I enjoyed watching the students think through the process. Next, students by will be building robots and bird feeders. I know they will be just as excited. The students will build robots out of Legos. Basically, students will be building little \"machines\" which also is an introduction to machines learning . The students bird feeders will be built with popsicle sticks. I am sure they will get a kick out of that. Students are learning to design and also use problem solving skills when creating projects. Most importantly, there are having fun. Thank you again.","fullyFundedDate":1762011121802,"projectUrl":"project/stem-sprouts/9726754/","projectTitle":"STEM Sprouts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Cozart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9590229"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_77917","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":275,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":95,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":1,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.1,"schoolId":77917,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Danforth Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Danforth Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/riverview-gardens-school-district/danforth-elementary-school/77917"}
