We are using the new resources to turn STEM concepts into experiences that students can actually build, test, improve, and discuss rather than simply read.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting parts has been watching students work together on STEM challenges. They have used the materials to design and create solutions, test their ideas, and then make changes when something did not work as planned. Students began asking questions such as, \"What can we change?\" and \"How can we make this work better?\" These moments have helped them understand that mistakes are an important part of the engineering and design process.","fullyFundedDate":1778524301964,"projectUrl":"project/stem-experiences/10067933/","projectTitle":"STEM Experiences","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Gordon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2333694_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1463599905185","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heathergordon"},{"teacherId":2333694,"projectId":10219492,"letterContent":"The students were so excited when we opened our package this morning!
