The impact of your generosity is already being felt, as our students now have daily access to a wide variety of new STEM materials, including robotics kits, construction sets, and tools for simple coding experiments. This is a game-changer. What was once an occasional treat is now a core part of our learning environment, allowing every student to engage their curiosity and hands-on skills every single day.\r\n\r\nThe benefit of this consistent, varied access that students can choose from is immense. It allows us to transform learning from theoretical concepts into active, inquiry-based exploration. When children can constantly tinker, fail, and immediately iterate on a design using different materials, they naturally develop essential critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This daily exposure helps normalize science and engineering, making these fields feel accessible and exciting rather than intimidating. Thank you for investing directly in their potential and helping us build a strong foundation of lifelong curiosity and innovation in every student.","fullyFundedDate":1757628081051,"projectUrl":"project/dream-to-discovery-unleashing-our-inner/9683485/","projectTitle":"Dream to Discovery: Unleashing Our Inner Scientists With Stem Kits","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Duvall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5821092_orig.jpg?crop=1602,1602,x524,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1620061513197","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5821092"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91123","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":450,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":77,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":3,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"16.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.1,"schoolId":91123,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Central Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Central Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/canon-mcmillan-school-district/south-central-elementary-school/91123"}
