Our students have found a location on campus to place the feeders where they can attract birds and make weekly observations. The students will be working collaboratively with the Sustainability Club, which has received a grant to plant native plants on campus. The goal is to put in plants to attract birds. \r\n\r\nThe weekly bird observations are being submitted to Cornell Lab of Ornithology as part of a citizen science project. This allows scientists from all over the world to access the data as needed to study and understand bird populations and conservation. \r\n\r\nI enjoy watching the students become excited as they learn to identify different birds at the feeders. This has encouraged an appreciation for the natural world around us and given them an awareness of their own role in conservations practices.","fullyFundedDate":1758294198382,"projectUrl":"project/citizen-science-bird-feeder-watch/9644941/","projectTitle":"Citizen Science Bird Feeder Watch","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Smith","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6962230_orig.jpg?crop=1358,1358,x416,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755975313351","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6962230"},{"teacherId":9117354,"projectId":9511835,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping me fund my classroom this year.

The students were excited to assemble each of the 4 wheels. One of the students begged to take one home to correct a previous mistake so that it would be ready for the next meeting. It is a dirty process involving installing bearings and greasing the wheels. However, the students love it because the Swerve drive allows the robot to drive to any direction at any time. \r\n\r\nIt is because one motor turns the direction of the wheel and the other motor drives how fast it goes.

In our a robotic competitions, the higher a game piece goes the more points you can earn. So, having an elevator is very advantageous. \r\n\r\nSo this year we are excited to have the pieces to operate an elevator to experiment and gain experience on how to incorporate it on our robot.
