Your donation is making a direct and meaningful impact in our classrooms, and I wanted to take a moment to share how it's already helping our students grow.\r\n\r\nMany of us use technology every day at home, but in our school, tools like Ozobots do so much more than entertain. These small, programmable robots are powerful learning companions. They help students understand complex ideas in a hands-on way, like solving math problems by coding the robot's path or exploring historical events by programming timelines that the Ozobots can navigate. This kind of learning engages students on a deeper level, making abstract concepts more concrete and fun.\r\n\r\nWhat's especially exciting for our students is the ability to create. With Ozobots, they aren't just consuming technology—they're inventing with it. Whether they're using markers to draw code or building block-based programs on a screen, students are energized by the chance to bring their ideas to life through movement and design. The moment their robot completes a mission they've coded? It's pure joy—and a big confidence booster.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, hundreds of students across grade levels are discovering new passions and gaining critical skills for the future. You've helped us turn curiosity into confidence—and for that, we're truly grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1744061944000,"projectUrl":"project/coding-the-future-empowering-students-w/9001986/","projectTitle":"Coding the Future: Empowering Students with Ozobot STEAM Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rojo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1534091_orig.jpg?crop=2872,2872,x0,y141&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1594343694679","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msrojo"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_31417","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":976,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":29,"percentBlack":13,"percentWhite":15,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":28,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"23.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":86.5,"schoolId":31417,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Westlake Charter School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Westlake Charter School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/natomas-unified-school-district/westlake-charter-school/31417"}
