Because of your support, our students now have access to Edison robots, which will be used during our applied coding lessons with robots during the Spring semester. While we haven't yet begun that portion of our curriculum, the excitement among my students is already growing. They often ask when they're going to be able to start using the robots and are eager to see how what they've learned about programming will come to life in a physical, hands-on way.\r\n\r\nOnce we begin our robotics unit in the spring, these robots will allow students to learn coding concepts through direct experimentation. They'll be able to program their robots to navigate mazes, respond to sensors, and complete challenges that require problem-solving and teamwork. This type of interactive learning helps students develop critical thinking and persverence, skills that are invaluable not just in STEM, but in any field.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make these opportunities possible for my students. Your generosity has sparked genuine curiosity and anticipation, and I can't wait to share photos and updates of our students exploring robotics in action later this year.","fullyFundedDate":1747400906015,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-stem-learning-with-edison-rob/9069223/","projectTitle":"Empowering STEM Learning with Edison Robots","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. D.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2517372_orig.jpg?crop=735,735,x0,y117&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1714401610757","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2517372"},{"teacherId":9547848,"projectId":8522713,"letterContent":"From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
