Your donation provided our students with meaningful, hands-on STEAM learning experiences that truly brought their ideas to life.\r\n\r\nWith access to cardboard cutting tools, including the chomp saw, students were able to safely design and construct their own engineering projects. These tools allowed them to move from planning to creating with confidence. The addition of color ink further enhanced their work, enabling students to print vibrant designs and details that elevated the quality and creativity of their final projects.\r\n\r\nThroughout the project, students engaged fully in the engineering design process—designing, creating, testing, and re-engineering their ideas. The experience encouraged peer collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving as students worked together to overcome challenges and accomplish shared goals.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students were empowered to think like engineers, collaborate effectively, and take pride in their learning.
