Because of your contribution, we were able to create an engaging, hands-on experience that brought science, technology, engineering, and math to life for our students.\r\n\r\nOn STEM Titanic Day, students stepped into the roles of engineers, scientists, and problem-solvers as they explored the challenges and innovations behind the Titanic. From designing their own \"unsinkable\" ships to experimenting with buoyancy and balance, our learners were immersed in activities that fostered critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.\r\n\r\nThe excitement was palpable as students tested their models, analyzed the science of flotation, and discovered how engineering decisions can impact outcomes. This event didn't just teach STEM concepts—it inspired curiosity and showed students how these skills apply to real-world problems.\r\n\r\nYour generosity provided the materials and tools that made this day possible. From building supplies to experiment kits, your support helped us bring STEM learning to life in a way that textbooks alone never could.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students and for helping us create an experience that they'll remember for years to come.
