Our school is small, so robotics is new for alot of the students and allowed them to learn more about technology. STEM doesn't have its own room, but the students have expressed an interest in learning more about robotics, so maybe next year we can expand this interest. Being able to build and operate their own robot showed students how meticulous it can be to put parts together the correct way in order for it to run properly. \r\n\r\nStudents took a few days to build the robots, and initially they were obviously challenged, but as they continued, I could see their confidence and determination to complete the task. I wish I could submit video, because each grade who built a robot (3rd-5th) got to use batteries to watch it move in some way. They *loved* that part. Some robots moved on the ground, and one used a fan to blow bubbles! \r\n\r\nI wasn't able to allow 1st or 2nd grade to build because there weren't enough, but I know the second graders really wanted a turn. All students who got the opportunity to build a robot truly enjoyed it! Thank you, again.","fullyFundedDate":1755752067679,"projectUrl":"project/domo-arigato-mr-roboto/9555909/","projectTitle":"Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bowman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10037339_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753119922971","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10037339"},{"teacherId":9572620,"projectId":9324819,"letterContent":"When my kindergarteners first saw the new supplies, their excitement was priceless. The headphones have already made a huge difference during i-Ready lessons, helping each student stay focused without distractions. The dry erase markers, pockets, and easel pads have turned our math and writing practice into fun, reusable activities that students love to use.\r\nThe organizers and other classroom tools keep everything neat and ready to go, which saves time and helps my students feel more independent.
