Your generosity gives our young scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers more opportunities to explore new ideas and bring their thinking to life.\r\n\r\nThese STEM materials are much more than building tools. They give students the opportunity to take on challenges, experiment with different solutions, and learn through trial and error. As students build, create, and test their designs, they practice important problem-solving skills while learning that mistakes are an important part of the learning process.\r\n\r\nThe materials also help students explain their thinking and make their ideas visible. Students can use them to demonstrate how something works, create models of scientific concepts, and show what they understand in a hands-on way. Whether they are building a structure to solve an engineering challenge, creating a model to represent an idea, or working with classmates to test and improve a design, these resources encourage students to think critically, communicate their ideas, and learn from one another.\r\n\r\nIt is exciting to see students become more confident in sharing their thinking, asking questions, and approaching challenges with creativity and perseverance. Your support helps make these meaningful learning experiences possible!\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and helping make the STEM Lab a place where curiosity leads to discovery and big ideas come to life. We are so grateful for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1784484533746,"projectUrl":"project/growing-curious-minds-through-stem/10360324/","projectTitle":"Growing Curious Minds Through STEM!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. DiRocco","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9457185"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_106436","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":814,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":28,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":66,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":6,"gradesServed":"K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"28.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":76.5,"schoolId":106436,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Discovery Academy of Science on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Discovery Academy of Science","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/pinellas-county-schools/discovery-academy-of-science/106436"}
