The addition of our own club laptop, portable projector and screen, and robotics table has completely transformed how we are able to teach, collaborate, and problem-solve. Students are now able to clearly see coding demonstrations in real time, test and iterate on their robot designs more efficiently, and work together in a more focused and organized environment.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is the sense of ownership and confidence this has created for our students. They are no longer waiting for access—they are actively leading their learning. Several students who were initially hesitant have really come into their own, stepping into leadership roles, troubleshooting independently, and helping their peers navigate both coding and design challenges. The portability of our setup has also allowed us to be flexible and responsive, bringing robotics into different spaces and making it more accessible and visible within our school community.\r\n\r\nWe were especially proud to use all of these new materials during our end-of-year recruitment event, where our student robotics leaders presented their work from this season to our PK–3 community. Being able to project their coding, demonstrate their robot on a full competition table, and confidently share their innovation projects elevated the experience for both presenters and younger students. It was a powerful moment of mentorship and inspiration, and it would not have been possible without your support. Thank you for investing in our students and helping us build something that will continue to grow for years to come.","fullyFundedDate":1769621368087,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-build-a-portable-robotics-classr/9884608/","projectTitle":"Help Us Build a Portable Robotics Classroom!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tori","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10108248_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762615626608","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10108248"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69865","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":154,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":24,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":69,"percentIndigenous":7,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.4,"schoolId":69865,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Montessori Charter School - Switzer Mesa on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Montessori Charter School - Switzer Mesa","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/mont-charter-school-of-flagstaff/69865"}
