I'm so excited to be able to teach and expose our students to tennis.\r\n\r\nLiving in the 3rd largest city can sometimes place limitations on activities. One thing that Chicago has for people to use are tennis courts. Unfortunately because city schools typically don't have the space in their PE classes, tennis is not something that kids have a chance to try out. \r\n\r\nIt's a very good bet that because students are going to try and learn the basics of tennis that there will be several students who continue to play after they graduate. That's the goal for our students, continue your fitness journey after you leave. Thanks to your donation that is now possible.

When we first posted our project, we spoke about the \"can-do\" spirit of our students and their need to move beyond the screen and into the real world. Thanks to your donation of 3D printing materials, that transition is now officially underway.\r\n\r\nIn a diverse urban setting like ours at Lake View High School, many of my students are used to making do with what is available. However, seeing their faces when the new filament arrived was a moment of pure empowerment. It wasn't just plastic to them; it was the raw material for their imagination. For the first time, they aren't just looking at CAD designs on a monitor—they are holding their own engineering solutions in their hands.\r\n\r\nOne particular moment stood out recently: One of our lead builders spent three weeks trying to design a custom bracket for our robot's intake system. In the past, we would have had to compromise using scrap metal or wood. This week, he printed his design, found a flaw in the tolerances, went back to the computer, iterated, and printed a second version that fit perfectly. The look of pride when that part snapped into place was a \"lightbulb moment\" for the entire team.\r\n\r\nYour support has allowed these budding engineers to experience the authentic cycle of trial and error that defines STEM careers. They are learning that failure is just a step toward success, and they are gaining the technical confidence needed for our upcoming local competitions.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, these students no longer feel like they are \"falling behind\" due to a lack of resources. Instead, they feel like innovators who have the same tools as professionals. You haven't just provided supplies; you have provided a pathway to a future where they see themselves as leaders in technology.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for turning our robotics lab into a true hub of innovation.","fullyFundedDate":1770647672108,"projectUrl":"project/lake-view-robotics/9960875/","projectTitle":"Lake View Robotics","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pinnyei","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9915741"},{"teacherId":3500922,"projectId":10149075,"letterContent":"How are you and your students using the new resources? \r\nI teach juniors and seniors and as the end of the year approaches there are a lot of events and deadlines that occupy their time. Having a resource like Cornhole is great because kids are familiar with the game, it allows for small groups to interact, has very few rules and is just competitive enough to keep things interesting. It's a game changer for our PE classes in the last few weeks of high school.\r\n\r\nHow did your students react when they first saw the materials?\r\nThey loved it. We have used Donors Choose for numerous proposals and each time one gets funded, students act the same way. They are so happy\r\n\r\nYour donors got a little peek into your classroom by contributing to your project, and we know that they'd love to learn more.

Your donations helped me to get materials that helped fund not one, but two different class projects.

The students will come up with their own design to make a mixed media embroidery that uses embroidery floss and buttons and/or beads. It gives a new twist to an old favorite art medium. After we complete the embroidery unit we move on to the plushy unit. In this unit the students design and create their own 'plushy'. If you do not know what that is, it is a 3-dimensional, stuffed animal type of thing.\r\n\r\nI have done both of these projects in previous years and it is always a student favorite, and one of my favorites as well. They love the creativity and freedom of creating something completely their own, but also love learning a skill that they can use in day to day life. They always rock these two projects and it's one of my favorite units of the year! The kids are so excited to use the new embroidery floss and new, different fabric patterns.
