These robots have already made a powerful impact on student learning and engagement. Through hands-on exploration, students have been able to apply concepts such as coding, engineering design, problem-solving, and critical thinking in meaningful and exciting ways. Instead of simply reading about scientific principles, they have experienced them in action.\r\n\r\nWorking with the robots has strengthened collaboration skills as students plan, test, revise, and improve their designs together. They have learned how to troubleshoot challenges, analyze errors, and adjust their programming to achieve successful outcomes. This process has encouraged perseverance, creativity, and a growth mindset—skills that extend far beyond science class.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, the robots have sparked genuine excitement for STEM learning. Students who may not have previously seen themselves as \"science learners\" are now confidently experimenting, asking questions, and exploring new ideas. Your generosity has provided opportunities that inspire curiosity and innovation. Thank you for investing in our students' education and helping us bring science to life in such an engaging and meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1765130123024,"projectUrl":"project/experiencing-robots/9945190/","projectTitle":"Experiencing Robots","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. De Leon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3578339_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660433343295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3578339"},{"teacherId":10008591,"projectId":10089632,"letterContent":"Sharpies, glue sticks, scissors, and trifold display boards have already made a meaningful impact on our career and college preparation unit, even though we are only halfway through the project. Students have used Sharpies to create bold, clear headings and eye-catching visuals that made their research stand out. The vibrant, permanent ink helped them organize important information about colleges, career pathways, and required skills in a way that looked polished and professional. This has already increased their pride in their work and their confidence in presenting their ideas.\r\n\r\nGlue sticks and scissors have allowed students to carefully trim articles, acceptance requirements, tuition information, and career data, then neatly assemble their findings onto their boards. The hands-on process of cutting and organizing has helped them think more intentionally about their goals and future plans. They have practiced decision-making skills as they chose what information was most important to highlight.\r\n\r\nThe trifold display boards have given students a structured and professional way to present their research so far. Even midway through the project, their displays are taking shape beautifully, and students are already strengthening their organization, communication, and presentation skills.","fullyFundedDate":1771030062043,"projectUrl":"project/career-and-college-prep/10089632/","projectTitle":"Career and College Prep","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sharon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10008591"},{"teacherId":9305407,"projectId":9965626,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support in providing Model Magic, paint markers, blank books, and storage bags for our classroom.
