Because of you, we now have Sphero Coding Robot Balls and 3D filament—tools that are already transforming the way we teach, learn, and share STEM with our community.\r\n\r\nYour gift has made it possible for our students to continue leading Build-a-Bot camps for elementary children, where younger students are building their first robots, learning to code, and discovering the excitement of engineering. The smiles and excitement we see when a robot follows a student's very first coded command are priceless—and it is all thanks to you.\r\n\r\nThese supplies also empower our robotics teams to mentor other FIRST teams and bring hands-on STEM activities to local science and children's museums. Each outreach event introduces dozens of students to the possibilities of robotics and programming, inspiring many who may never have had access otherwise.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your support is helping us build a lasting cycle of mentorship: older students teaching younger ones, who will one day teach the next generation. This ripple effect is exactly what makes STEM education so powerful.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students and investing in their futures. Your generosity ensures that they not only grow as innovators but also as leaders who give back to their community.","fullyFundedDate":1746786266367,"projectUrl":"project/summer-stem-camps/9191142/","projectTitle":"Summer STEM Camps","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Doyle","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9535155_orig.jpg?crop=513,513,x55,y41&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1715117033160","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9535155"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_46649","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":721,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":69,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":35,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":40,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":44.1,"schoolId":46649,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about W.C.
