Some of them have experienced the use of a MakerSpace in earlier grades, but since they are in high school, it sort of brings on a new twist to some of the projects. \r\n\r\nI will use these Snap Circuits and other materials to give students a chance to just come into the library, relax, and tinker. The craft supplies are perfect for someone just wishing to experiment with making something new. I have also been finding new projects for the paper circuit materials that you've given us, too. \r\n\r\nThanks so much for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1763606955440,"projectUrl":"project/makerspace-activities-for-freshmen/9798855/","projectTitle":"MakerSpace Activities for Freshmen","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3112029_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y100&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1678897057409","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3112029"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_72285","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1806,"numTeachers":74,"percentFrplEligible":10,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":85,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":4,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"24.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"TOWN","ncesMetroType":"TOWN_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":58.5,"schoolId":72285,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harrisburg High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harrisburg High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/south-dakota/harrisburg-school-district-41-2/harrisburg-high-school/72285"}
