There is no way to capture in just a short letter the joy and amazement on the students' faces when the tools available to the STEM club were first unveiled. The immediate positive responses from students whose teachers have been searching for ways to increase their participation in STEM activities was overwhelming, and we are seeing some students that had never previously connected positively to opportunities at school emerge from their shell and dive into the lessons we had. \r\n\r\nThe pictures attached to this project capture only a fraction of the gratitude and excitement felt in the room as the students wrapped up their team-building lessons and got to work together to fly their drones for the first time. The letters shown in one of the pictures include messages from a kindergartener, a second grader, and a third grader that all found themselves fully immersed in this team- and project-based learning. \r\n\r\nOur wonderful group of educators that have stepped up to lead these clubs are all thrilled to see what amazing progress we make in the lives of our students from here!","fullyFundedDate":1746786002944,"projectUrl":"project/stem-resources-for-primary-students/9237300/","projectTitle":"STEM Resources for Primary Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Saidi","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8268589_orig.jpg?crop=1157,1157,x72,y522&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743877678218","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8268589"},{"teacherId":7064396,"projectId":7097190,"letterContent":"Thank you for the educational alphabet LEGOS!
