This versatile tool allows us to bring basic health services directly into the classroom, with quick wellness checks and care for minor injuries.\r\n\r\nWith the mobile desk, students no longer have to leave class or wait in line at the health room, keeping them engaged in learning while still receiving the care they need. It also allows the health team to respond quickly across multiple classrooms, improving efficiency and reducing lost instructional time.\r\n\r\nThe desk also supports STEM education by integrating technology into daily health care. Using the laptop for digital health records, data entry, and telehealth tools, students can observe real-world applications of health technology. They may see how temperatures are tracked, medication schedules are managed, or health trends are monitored—reinforcing math and science concepts in action.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the mobile desk allows for teachable moments during visits, such as explaining how a thermometer works, what blood pressure numbers mean, or the basics of anatomy and physiology. Its ergonomic, mobile design can even spark discussions about design thinking, innovation, and healthcare technology.\r\n\r\nThanks to the mobile laptop desk, we are enhancing both student health and learning, creating a dynamic space where care meets education.","fullyFundedDate":1746714623340,"projectUrl":"project/on-the-go-student-health-mobile-clinic/9325075/","projectTitle":"\"On-the-Go Student Health: Mobile Clinic Project\"","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8693603_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746537501240","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8693603"},{"teacherId":9424808,"projectId":8972177,"letterContent":"The resources from this project went straight to students across the 4th grade who did not have warm clothing to wear in the winter weather.

With the addition of an ice maker, students now have quick access to one of the most commonly needed treatments for injuries, swelling, and fevers. Beyond immediate care, they also gain a hands-on understanding of how cold therapy works and how the body responds to temperature changes—bringing science and health to life in a practical way. Similarly, the secure storage cabinet has created a more organized and efficient space, ensuring that medications and supplies are safely stored while also modeling the importance of design, planning, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nStudents who require daily medical support have also experienced tremendous benefits. The availability of glucose strips allows those managing diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels safely and consistently, reinforcing lessons in biology and physiology while giving them confidence in their own care. Flushable wipes have improved hygiene and comfort, particularly for younger students and those with special needs, helping them maintain dignity in difficult moments. Altogether, these resources have elevated the health room into more than a place of care—it has become a setting where students experience real-world connections to STEM, from medical technology and biology to engineering and spatial design, all while feeling safe, supported, and ready to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1746738307691,"projectUrl":"project/supporting-student-health-starts-with-yo/9274598/","projectTitle":"Supporting Student Health Starts with You!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Wilson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8693603_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746537501240","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8693603"},{"teacherId":9550907,"projectId":9402728,"letterContent":"My new students were so excited to see all the new decor!
