Because of your generosity, our classroom is becoming a place where ideas don't stay on paper—they become real, tangible creations.\r\n\r\nEvery spool of filament is more than just material; it represents possibility. In our middle school makerspace, students are engaging in authentic engineering design—brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and refining their ideas. One student is currently designing and printing a fully functional Rubik's Cube, carefully considering tolerances and movement between pieces. Another is creating a custom chess board, blending mathematical precision with creative design. These are not just projects—they are powerful learning experiences.\r\n\r\nThrough this work, students begin to see themselves as engineers, problem solvers, and innovators. They develop persistence when designs don't work the first time, confidence when they iterate and improve, and pride when they hold a finished product they created from scratch.\r\n\r\nYour support ensures that students don't just learn about STEM—they live it. You are helping provide equitable access to tools and experiences that allow every student to explore, create, and discover what they are capable of.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us turn imagination into reality and for shaping the future of our students—one design at a time.","fullyFundedDate":1763621341248,"projectUrl":"project/from-imagination-to-innovation/9767273/","projectTitle":"From Imagination to Innovation!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Sibley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4427114"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_75235","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":815,"numTeachers":52,"percentFrplEligible":16,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":59,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":24,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.5,"schoolId":75235,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Valley Junior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Valley Junior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/gilbert-public-schools/south-valley-junior-high-school/75235"}
