Your generosity has brought innovation and excitement to our STEM learning experiences.\r\n\r\nMany of our scholars are familiar with technology at home but are now seeing how it can be used in powerful, hands-on ways at school. The 3D printer has opened up opportunities for students to bring their creative ideas to life, transforming digital designs into real objects they can hold, test, and improve. It's helping them learn about engineering, problem-solving, and perseverance in a meaningful and engaging way.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for our students is watching their designs come to life layer by layer. There's a genuine sense of pride and curiosity every time the printer starts running. They love brainstorming new ideas, modeling them digitally, and seeing how the machine transforms their vision into something tangible.\r\n\r\nWe use the printer to support our LEGO STEM program and our after-school STEM club. Students are becoming familiar with how the printer works—the different parts, materials, and steps it takes to create something from scratch. One student in particular, who sometimes struggles with behavior and staying motivated, has truly connected with this technology. Watching the printer work has inspired him to stay engaged in class and tutoring because he's eager to learn more about how it all functions.\r\n\r\nThis printer has already made a tremendous impact in our classroom and beyond. Thank you for believing in our scholars and giving them this opportunity to dream, design, and create!\r\n\r\nWith gratitude,\r\nDr. Anne-Marie Nemeth\r\nBay Point Elementary","fullyFundedDate":1754417448468,"projectUrl":"project/futuremakers-k5-stem-through-3d-printi/9296498/","projectTitle":"FutureMakers: K–5 Stem Through 3D Printing","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Nemeth","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10008694"},{"teacherId":9736639,"projectId":9071794,"letterContent":"Thank you for the donation of BEST books for my classroom.
