Students are now actively engaged in hands-on STEM learning where they code, design, problem-solve, and collaborate. These tiny robots have turned abstract concepts like sequencing, patterns, and cause-and-effect into something students can see and control. Every learner, including those who struggle with traditional assignments, can participate and feel successful. \r\n\r\nStudents are excited to test ideas, adjust their code, and try again—building resilience and confidence along the way. Thanks to this project, our classroom is filled with curiosity, teamwork, creativity, and joyful learning.

Students are now able to build, design, and problem-solve in ways that encourage creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. What once felt like \"work\" now feels like exploration. Students are excited to try new ideas, test their designs, and revise when something doesn't work the first time—helping them build real perseverance and confidence.\r\n\r\nLEGO activities have also supported social-emotional development. Students work together, share materials, communicate their thinking, and practice patience when building as a team. Many of our learners who struggle with focus or anxiety now have a hands-on outlet that keeps them engaged and calm. Learning has become more interactive, joyful, and meaningful for every student, regardless of their academic skill level.\r\n\r\nThis project has transformed our classroom into a space where imagination and learning come together.

The materials you provided for our Mousetrap Car Engineering Challenge have truly brought science and STEM learning to life.\r\n\r\nFrom the moment our project materials arrived, excitement filled the room. Students worked in teams to design, build, and test their mousetrap cars — exploring concepts like force, motion, energy, and friction through hands-on experimentation. They measured distances, adjusted levers, redesigned wheels, and celebrated each small success.\r\n\r\nThis project helped my students see science not as something from a textbook, but as something they could build, test, and experience. They learned the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and problem-solving. Some teams' cars zoomed across the classroom, while others didn't go as planned — but every student gained a deeper understanding of how learning happens through trial, error, and determination.\r\n\r\nThe pride and confidence they developed were incredible to see. They weren't just building cars; they were becoming engineers and innovators — thinking critically and creatively about how to make their designs work better.\r\n\r\nYour kindness didn't just fund supplies; it fueled curiosity, inspired future scientists, and reminded my students that their ideas matter. We are so grateful for your belief in our classroom and our learners. Because of you, my students now see themselves as problem solvers who can make things move — both in science and in life.","fullyFundedDate":1760801412662,"projectUrl":"project/the-great-mousetrap-car-challenge-engin/9820614/","projectTitle":"The Great Mousetrap Car Challenge: Engineering in Motion","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1025857_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1489024026678","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1025857"},{"teacherId":1025857,"projectId":9583971,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our student enrichment project!
