Your support means more than you know to our students.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our young makers now have the chance to explore materials that bend, stretch, twist, and spring back—sparking brand-new opportunities for innovation and creativity. This filament will allow students to design wearable creations, build engineering prototypes, and experiment with real-world problem-solving in ways that simply weren't possible before.\r\n\r\nOur club members are already buzzing with ideas: custom keychains and bracelets, soft robotics concepts, flexible phone stands, and classroom tools they can invent themselves. \r\n\r\nYour gift didn't just supply a material—your kindness told our students that their curiosity matters and that people believe in their potential. That message stays with them.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your support and can't wait to share the results of their creations as they bring their designs to life.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our young STEM innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1755709839575,"projectUrl":"project/flexible-printing-with-a-twist/9299968/","projectTitle":"Flexible Printing With a Twist!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gravel","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrsgravel"},{"teacherId":3622593,"projectId":9137372,"letterContent":"You don't know how grateful I am to all of you with the love and support you have given my classroom.\r\n\r\nThese magnetic boards are a truly a game changer. They allow my students an easy way to manipulate the letters to create words. It also allows them the opportunity to write the words as well. My students are super excited to use them in their centers as well as with one on one support.\r\n\r\nThank you for being so kind. I appreciate all of you.

These writing tablets that my students can use to solve math problems, reinforce skills, use for group response.... The possibilities are endless. These boards make their writing rainbow and fun. Believe it or not, with rainbow writing, even math and spelling can be fun! With these fun LCD writing tablets, students will show their work in a fun and colorful way. The tablets are great because they don't require markers or paper, so they are fun and sustainable. When we use whiteboards, we go through so many markers. My students enjoy using these especially during phonics lessons, when it can seem long for them.

Teaching simultaneously online and in person showed to be quite a challenge. Having these magnetic letters helped both sets of students follow along in an engaging way. They learned phonics hands on and were able to transfer their learning to practical reading of books and other texts offered. The magnetic letters also supported spelling rules that the students were then able to generalize into their writing. After a difficult year, I have been thankful for this tool to use and to use in future years to come.

Coding is a hard thing to teach, and often, students feel discouraged because it takes so long to see results. My students are so excited to code, now that we have the spheros. They challenge each other to program the sphero to go through an obstacle course, change LED light colors, and even make a \"crash\" sound effect if they bump into something. It is engaging and rewarding for them.\r\n\r\nSeveral of my boys said they would never code because it's \"just too hard.\" I've been struggling to get them to participate in coding for a few months. Now, all three boys will ask to program the sphero whenever there is free time, that's how much they enjoy it!\r\n\r\nI couldn't have done this without your support.

I have been eager to start this 3D printing project for quite some time, and your donation helped me to get the printer that would make the logistics of this project feasible. \r\n\r\nI started with the 5th graders, and tied it into the story they were reading with their homeroom teachers, the Wild Robot. It was so energizing to see the way they invested themselves in the project! My 3D printing club students really had fun helping their classmates navigate tinkercad and be 'experts.' Several students even told me that they read the book after making their robot (even though they had been avoiding reading it for class).\r\n\r\nI feel like this made a big difference for students of every ability level, and was accessible for our 3 students who are still learning English.
