This technology allows them to engage hands-on with computer science concepts, fostering critical thinking and creativity as they develop sustainable solutions to real-world problems. Many of my students, who previously had limited exposure to coding and technology, are now confidently exploring programming and engineering principles in ways that inspire curiosity and perseverance.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting aspect of this new technology for my students is its interactive nature. They are thrilled to see their ideas come to life through coding and design, which makes abstract concepts tangible and meaningful. This engagement has sparked enthusiasm across the classroom, especially among students who had not previously considered themselves \"tech-savvy.\" For example, several shy learners have blossomed into confident problem-solvers, eagerly collaborating on projects and sharing their innovative ideas. Your support has not only provided tools but has also ignited a passion for learning that will benefit these students far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThank you once again for investing in my students' education and future.

The thrill of manipulating graphs in real time—watching lines, parabolas, and inequalities shift as they change values. Creating colorful, artistic designs with equations, which turns math into a creative challenge.\r\n\r\nOne student who previously found algebra overwhelming now eagerly experiments with graphing inequalities, saying it feels like \"playing a math video game.\" A quiet student has grown more confident by presenting Desmos graphs to the class, finding a new way to share their mathematical thinking.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, my students are not just solving equations—they're seeing math come alive.
