We know many of you use technology in your daily lives, and we want to share how this same spark has ignited something special in our classrooms.\r\n\r\nYour support allowed us to implement an open-ended robotics design project that goes far beyond traditional kits. Rather than following preset instructions, students are challenged to design original robotic solutions from scratch. They use CAD software to bring ideas to life and 3D-printed components to make those ideas real. This isn't theoretical learning; it's hands-on innovation.\r\n\r\nStudents are thrilled by this experience, and here's why:\r\n\r\n• Real creation, real impact: Students are most excited when they see their digital designs become physical parts. Watching a 3D-printed component emerge layer by layer creates a sense of ownership and amazement that worksheets simply cannot match.\r\n\r\n• Engineering in action: Learners are designing, printing, testing, and rebuilding — just like real engineers. They troubleshoot mechanical issues, revise their models, and collaborate closely with teammates. These are authentic engineering practices that engage logic, creativity, patience, and teamwork.\r\n\r\n• Math and physics come alive: Abstract classroom concepts now have real-world consequences. A student's understanding of geometry, measurement, and force isn't just written on paper — it's embedded in the parts they design and test. When a gear doesn't fit or a lever fails, students return to the math and physics to fix it.\r\n\r\nThere are particular students who have especially warmed to this technology. Some who struggled with disengagement in traditional lessons suddenly become leaders in their teams. Quiet students blossom into vocal collaborators when given the chance to design their own solutions. One student shared that seeing their own creation move under its own power \"felt like discovering I'm good at something I never thought I could do.\"\r\n\r\nThe filament you helped fund is not a general classroom supply. It is the medium of transformation. Without it, a design remains an idea. With it, students build confidence, resilience, and creativity. They don't just learn about innovation — they live it.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is doing so much more than purchasing materials. You're helping students see themselves as inventors, engineers, and active creators in a world where technology plays an ever-expanding role.\r\n\r\nThank you for turning imagination into invention, and for inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers.

The moment my students saw the Bambu Lab AMS filament storage system, they gathered around it with wide eyes, excitedly discussing all the designs they've been eager to print. Many of them had never seen a professional storage system before, and their reactions ranged from \"Wow, this is so cool!\" to immediate brainstorming about what they wanted to create next.\r\n\r\nWe are already using the new resources during our design and STEM project blocks. One unforgettable moment was when a group of students loaded filament into the AMS for the first time and watched the printer run flawlessly with perfectly dry filament. They cheered when their first multi-color keychain prototype printed without any of the usual warping or moisture issues. For students who come from low-income households and often have limited access to technology, seeing their ideas come to life so cleanly was incredibly empowering.\r\n\r\nThis project has given them not just tools, but confidence. The AMS system ensures that every print—whether a small charm or a complex engineering model—comes out with professional quality. It means we spend less time troubleshooting and more time exploring creativity, engineering concepts, and design thinking. In a Title I school where 80% of our students receive free or reduced lunch, opportunities like this truly open doors.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to guide students through designing their own STL files, teaching them how to prototype, revise, and finalize their models for clean 3-D printing. They're eager to move from simple designs to more advanced mechanical parts, and now they finally have the right equipment to support that growth.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools they need to dream bigger, design boldly, and bring their creations to life.

Several students immediately knelt beside the components, excitedly pointing out the steering motors and discussing how they might program each wheel independently. It felt like watching curiosity turn instantly into determination.\r\n\r\nWe've already begun using the new resources in hands-on build sessions. One of my favorite moments was when a group of students successfully installed and tested their first module. When the wheel rotated and translated smoothly across the floor, they erupted into cheers—you could see the confidence building in real time. \r\n\r\nWith swerve drive now part of our toolkit, our programming and mechanical sub-teams are diving deeper into advanced robotics concepts. Students are learning how omni-directional steering works, experimenting with drive modes, and discovering the engineering behind modular repair and reliability. These are the same concepts they will encounter in college-level robotics courses, and they're gaining that experience now because of you.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to complete the full installation, integrate the drive system into this season's robot, and refine the code that controls each wheel's steering and speed. Students are working collaboratively to troubleshoot, test, and fine-tune performance so we can boost our team's ranking score and truly kick our robot into hyperdrive!\r\n\r\nThank you for opening doors to skills that will shape their futures.
