Your support plays a vital role in helping us continue to foster an environment where students can explore their passions for technology and innovation.\r\n\r\nThe LEGO Spike Kit you provided has been a game-changer for our students. It offers them an incredible hands-on learning experience, allowing them to build and test their creations in a way that is both engaging and educational. Not only are they learning about Lego Robotics, but they are also developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills that will serve them well in the future.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students the most about the new LEGO Spike kits is the flexibility and creativity they allow. They can design their own builds, modify them based on real-world challenges, and see their ideas come to life. The tactile nature of building with LEGO pieces makes abstract concepts much more tangible and helps our students better understand the science, technology, engineering, and math principles behind robotics.\r\n\r\nParticular students have really excelled with this technology. For example, one of my special need students, a naturally curious and inventive student, has a passion for building and problem-solving, thanks to the hands-on nature of the kits. It's been truly inspiring to watch how these tools are bringing out the best in our students.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you so much for your generous contribution. It's having a lasting impact on our students, and we can't wait to see what they accomplish next with this amazing new kit.","fullyFundedDate":1733165082209,"projectUrl":"project/beginner-robotics-class-lets-get-movi/8689440/","projectTitle":"Beginner Robotics Class - Let's Get Moving!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Mo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7835270_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1725215634425","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7835270"},{"teacherId":5492880,"projectId":8477660,"letterContent":"We are so grateful for your support of our DonorsChoose project, which has had a transformative impact on our culinary program. Thanks to your generosity, we acquired a professional sandwich press, a hot beverage dispenser, and warming totes. These resources have opened a world of possibilities for our students, providing them with hands-on experiences that extend far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nWith these tools, students have not only mastered new cooking techniques but have also gained invaluable skills in teamwork, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The sandwich press has been a favorite, allowing students to experiment with gourmet paninis and breakfast creations. The hot beverage dispenser has helped students perfect recipes for seasonal favorites like hot chocolate and tea, which they've served during special school events. Meanwhile, the warming totes have ensured our fresh toast creations remain at peak quality during events, giving students a real-world understanding of food presentation and catering logistics.\r\n\r\nIn addition to enhancing their culinary skills, students have had the opportunity to host various culinary presentations for the school community. From breakfast pop-ups to holiday-themed treats, these events have boosted their confidence and showcased their talents. These experiences are not only teaching students about the culinary arts but also fostering leadership, time management, and communication skills.\r\n\r\nYour support has made it possible for our students to learn in an engaging and practical way, inspiring many to consider careers in the culinary industry. Thank you for believing in their potential and helping us create such impactful learning opportunities.","fullyFundedDate":1726690968061,"projectUrl":"project/cooking-up-success-equipping-our-culina/8477660/","projectTitle":"Cooking Up Success: Equipping Our Culinary Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bautista","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5492880_orig.jpg?crop=1290,1290,x0,y129&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1719954711003","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/missbautista"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42268","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":987,"numTeachers":54,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":74,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":74.6,"schoolId":42268,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Miami Lakes Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Miami Lakes Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/miami-dade-county-public-schools/miami-lakes-middle-school/42268"}
