Because of your generosity, my students were able to use plenty of filament to dive into a hands-on toy-designer project. Each student created their own original design using Tinkercad, learning how to model in 3D and bring their ideas to life. They were so proud to see their concepts transform from digital models into real, tangible objects on our 3D printers.\r\n\r\nOur printers have become an essential part of the classroom!!!!! Our students use them regularly to create fidgets, classroom tools, and personal projects. But most importantly, they are not just printing objects; they are designing, problem-solving, and iterating like true engineers. This project gave them the opportunity to think creatively, apply STEM skills, and experience the full design-to-print process.\r\n\r\nYour donation made this meaningful learning possible, and my students are already excited for what they can design next. Thank you for investing in their creativity and giving them the materials they need to explore, invent, and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1741566230774,"projectUrl":"project/building-creativity-expanding-our-3d-ar/9112112/","projectTitle":"Building Creativity: Expanding Our 3d Art Journey","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Fish","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5831574_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727266583358","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5831574"},{"teacherId":5878204,"projectId":9185586,"letterContent":"I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you that helped make this project possible. Your generosity helped my students be successful for their concert this past spring and created memories they will carry with them for years to come. I will be able to help countless students better learn very important music reading skills that will have application across curricular subjects, thereby helping them improve not only in the choir classroom, but in their other courses as well. \r\n\r\nTechnology gives teachers a conduit to convey critical content in a more effective way than traditional educational models would allow. As a choir director, this is extremely important because when my students come to me, nearly all of them are interacting with a choral score for the first time in their lives. It is akin to learning a foreign language; it takes time and patience in order to become fluent. \r\n\r\nWith the technology provided by this project, I am able to demonstrate necessary skills to students in real time that they can immediately apply to their own work in a way that promotes comprehension, application, and hopefully mastery. This allows me to reach an entire classroom at one time, versus singling out those who struggle.\r\n\r\nI plan to continue learning and exploring new and exciting ways to integrate this technology into my curriculum.

Your generosity brought writing process folders, special handwriting pencils, and books into the hands of my 6th to 8th grade special education students—and it has already made such a difference.\r\n\r\nThe writing folders have helped my students stay organized and better understand each step of the writing process. The pencils are specially designed to support their fine motor needs, and for some, they've made writing feel possible instead of frustrating. The books you helped provide have brought smiles, curiosity, and confidence to students who are often hesitant to read.\r\n\r\nThese materials may seem small, but to my students, they are huge. They feel seen, supported, and encouraged.
