The LEGO Education kits have quickly become one of our most loved and engaging tools for learning. My students' eyes lit up the moment they saw the colorful pieces, and before I could even finish explaining, they were already collaborating by sorting bricks, building prototypes, and testing their first creations. Their excitement was contagious as they realized these weren't just toys. They were tools to help them think, problem-solve, and create like real engineers.\r\n\r\nOne of our first projects was designing and coding simple machines. Students worked in small teams to build working models that demonstrated cause and effect, motion, and energy transfer. Watching them troubleshoot together and celebrating when their gears finally turned or when their sensors responded just right was an incredible moment. These LEGO sets have given my students a new level of confidence in exploring STEM concepts and applying their learning through play and experimentation.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be diving into a \"Design a Solution\" challenge where each team will identify a real-world problem and use LEGO Education to prototype their ideas. Thanks to you, my students now see themselves as inventors and engineers capable of building, testing, and improving their own ideas. Your support didn't just fund supplies; it built pathways for creativity, teamwork, and a lifelong love of STEM.","fullyFundedDate":1746786511935,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-future-in-stem-with-lego-educ/9151317/","projectTitle":"Building a Future in STEM with LEGO Education!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Flanagan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7868828_orig.jpg?crop=2960,2960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1704770719377","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/flanaganh"},{"teacherId":3593742,"projectId":9399366,"letterContent":"When my students saw me come in with two big boxes, they were SO excited!

Your support has made a significant impact on the educational experiences of our Pre-K through 5th grade students in the STEAM special area classroom.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donations, we have been able to acquire essential materials that enhance our students' learning and engagement. The color paper has allowed us to print vibrant and interactive activities, making learning more visually appealing and stimulating for our young learners. The sensory tables and bins have provided our Pre-K and ESE students with hands-on experiences that are crucial for their sensory development and exploration. Additionally, the Lakeshore STEM Science Station Magnet Activity Sets have introduced our students to fundamental concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through engaging and interactive activities.\r\n\r\nThese resources have not only enriched our curriculum but have also fostered a love for learning and discovery among our students. The impact of your generosity is evident in the excitement and enthusiasm our students show when engaging with these materials. They are developing critical thinking skills, creativity, and a deeper understanding of STEAM subjects, which will serve them well in their future academic endeavors.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly made a difference in our classroom, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to enhancing the educational experiences of our students.
