This initiative bridges the gap between hands-on learning and STEM education, allowing students to design, build, and operate remote-controlled cars they created themselves.\r\n\r\nBy tying the RC car club to attendance, we have witnessed a marked increase in student participation, as students are motivated to attend school regularly in order to engage in this exciting and rewarding activity. The club not only fosters interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, but also promotes teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance—skills crucial for students' academic and personal growth.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this project extends beyond the classroom, as students gain confidence in their abilities, experience the real-world application of engineering principles, and develop a passion for STEM fields that will benefit them long after they graduate. Through the continued success of the RC Car Club, JMTC is proud to inspire the next generation of innovators, engineers, and leaders.","fullyFundedDate":1726169917419,"projectUrl":"project/support-stem-club-for-therapeutic-school/8754173/","projectTitle":"Support STEM Club for Therapeutic School","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Swindle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9739457"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106435","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":16,"numTeachers":8,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":50,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":"2.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":55.6,"schoolId":106435,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about John Morse Therapeutic Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"John Morse Therapeutic Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sacramento-city-unified-school-district/john-morse-therapeutic-center/106435"}
