The excitement on their faces when a bulb lights up or a design finally works is absolutely priceless.\r\n\r\nBecause these materials are reusable, your gift will continue impacting students year after year. My classroom is now able to offer richer STEM challenges, deeper problem-solving opportunities, and more authentic engineering experiences. Students who once hesitated to participate are now fully engaged, collaborating, thinking creatively, and proudly showcasing what they've built. Your support has empowered my students to see themselves as scientists and engineers, and I am truly grateful for the long-lasting difference you've made.","fullyFundedDate":1757960315592,"projectUrl":"project/science-stocking/9698367/","projectTitle":"Science Stocking","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4760111_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757780258704","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4760111"},{"teacherId":5237391,"projectId":9130700,"letterContent":"We would like to say a big thank you for supporting our classroom> With your support, we now have 2 new wobble stools to help us wiggle enough to keep the focus, and 2 new lamps so we don't have to use the harsh ceiling lights in our class.\r\nMy class was so excited to see the boxes when they arrived.
