My students absolutely lit up the moment they saw them—they couldn't wait to dive in and start building. We're using the SPIKE kits in two main ways: once a week, we set aside a \"STEM Day\" where everyone gets hands-on experience with coding and engineering, and we also use them as a fun challenge for students who finish their math work early. It's incredible watching them team up to create robots and tinker with code in real time.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments happened on our very first STEM Day with the LEGO SPIKE sets. The room was buzzing with excitement as students figured out how to make their robots move. When one team finally got their robot rolling forward—just like they'd planned—everyone cheered as if they'd just landed on the moon! You could practically see their confidence levels soar right along with their creations.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to push the limits of what they can do, adding sensors and more advanced programming. Thanks to your generosity, these young inventors can dream big and keep exploring new ways to apply their creativity. I can't thank you enough for being part of this journey with us. Stay tuned for more updates on our budding engineers!","fullyFundedDate":1735421365622,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-stem-learning-lego-spike-robot/9012996/","projectTitle":"Hands-On STEM Learning: LEGO Spike Robotics for Future Innovators","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Yu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp5086723_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1520548863226","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/jinhuiyu"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_32877","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":331,"numTeachers":18,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":49,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":21,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"18.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":76.8,"schoolId":32877,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Land Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Land Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/sacramento-city-unified-school-district/william-land-elementary-school/32877"}
