The new supplies you helped us get the snacks, water, juice, ice popsicles, camping chairs, cooler, made a world of difference.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw everything set up, the stocked cooler full of treats, and their own chairs to rest between races, their faces lit up with excitement and pride. One student said, \"This feels like we're real engineers and racers!\" It was an unforgettable moment that instantly boosted their confidence and team spirit.\r\n\r\nDuring the Derby, the supplies kept them fueled and comfortable as they worked tirelessly on their soapbox cars, applying science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills they've been learning all year. It wasn't just about racing; it was about collaboration, creativity, and perseverance. They supported each other, made real-time design improvements, and cheered each other on like a true team.\r\n\r\nNext steps? Our students are now inspired to take what they've learned from the Soapbox Derby and dive into even bigger STEAM challenges! We're currently planning a \"Mini Car Design Expo,\" where students will build and race small-scale prototypes while applying lessons about friction, aerodynamics, and energy transfer. They are already brainstorming ideas and can't wait to build again — and thanks to you, they believe anything is possible.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving our students not just supplies, but the opportunity to dream, build, and shine!","fullyFundedDate":1776152585341,"projectUrl":"project/revving-up-the-future-soapbox-derby-stea/10143013/","projectTitle":"Revving Up the Future Soapbox Derby STEAM Team","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Luna","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2672472_orig.jpg?crop=2179,2179,x230,y278&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714521316247","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mscamano"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_271","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":349,"numTeachers":45,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":19,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":77,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":1,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"7.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":51.5,"schoolId":271,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 43 Jonas Bronck on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 43 Jonas Bronck","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/ps-43-jonas-bronck/271"}
