Students are able to apply what they are learning to a real-world problem while exploring unfamiliar materials, tools, or technology. This encourages critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration as students test ideas, make adjustments, and learn from their results. The resources also provide multiple ways for students to demonstrate understanding, helping meet different learning needs and giving students a stronger connection between classroom concepts and practical applications.\r\n\r\nStudents reacted with excitement and curiosity when introduced to new resources during a STEM activity. The opportunity to explore unfamiliar materials and work together can increase participation and motivation. Many students became more willing to ask questions, test different ideas, and learn through trial and error. Hands-on resources can also help students feel more confident because they can see and experience how the concepts from the lesson work in a practical setting.","fullyFundedDate":1784257574288,"projectUrl":"project/meet-my-3rd-grade-stem-explorers-pixel-a/10379781/","projectTitle":"Meet My 3rd Grade STEM Explorers Pixel Art Pros!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Howell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1564219_orig.jpg?crop=606,606,x57,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1685821523440","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1564219"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_42283","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1432,"numTeachers":71,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":50,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":52.5,"schoolId":42283,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about N.
