Because of you, my students now have access to 3D pens, colorful filaments, to explore the world of prosthetics.\r\n\r\nThese materials have brought so much creativity and joy into my STEAM classroom. Many of my students had never even seen a 3D pen before, so you can imagine their excitement the very first time they were able to hold one in their hands and start designing!\r\n\r\nSince receiving this project, my students have created 2D shapes, 3D shapes, pencil eraser toppers and prosthetics for our dolls missing limbs. It's been incredible to watch their creativity come to life in a whole new, hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThese 3D pens have given students the opportunity to explore design, problem-solving, and engineering in a fun and engaging way. They are learning to test ideas, fix mistakes, and keep going — all while creating something they're proud of.\r\nThank you for believing in my ideas for my students and for helping make our classroom an inspiring place to learn, create, and dream big.

Thanks to your support, I am confident that this project will become a favorite tradition at our school for years to come.

These tiles have introduced my students to a whole new way of exploring coding, robotics, and problem-solving. The hands-on, creative nature of the Magnet Tiles allows them to interact with technology in a tangible way, making concepts like sequencing, logic, and algorithms feel much more accessible and engaging. \r\n\r\nThis approach has been particularly beneficial for my Adapted STEAM students, helping them grasp how the technology works in an intuitive and fun way. We've used the tiles multiple times to practice key vocabulary like \"first, next, then,\" which is essential not only in coding but also in their daily routines. In one of our projects, my Adapted STEAM students used the Magnet Tiles and Ozobots to retell the story of \"The Wild Robot\", programming the robot to stop at various story cutouts, reinforcing both sequencing and storytelling in a hands-on, interactive manner.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this exciting learning opportunity possible!

These ramps are used with non-verbal 5th and 6th grade students during their STEAM class. I love giving my students the chance to explore and learn on their terms. One of my students loves it when we use Hot Wheels, and he thoroughly enjoyed switching out the different surfaces on the ramp. He was most excited when he found the ramps that made the car ride the bumpiest, as well as the fastest! Though he does not express this learning in words or on paper, you can see the learning happening in his eyes and his excitement!\r\n\r\nThis group of students also thrives on anything tactile to help meet their sensory needs, so the ramps are a big hit anytime we get them out. Whether students are launching Hot Wheels and Lego builds off of the ramps, or simply enjoying running their hands along the different surfaces, learning is still happening!\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping bring these exciting learning opportunities to life!","fullyFundedDate":1730832011379,"projectUrl":"project/ramp-up-the-fun-igniting-5th-graders-s/8917473/","projectTitle":"Ramp Up the Fun: Igniting 5th Graders' STEM Curiosity!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Hatesohl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9648424_orig.jpg?crop=1365,1365,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741190723071","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maggie-hatesohl"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133905","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":440,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":32,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":70,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"5 - 6","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":44.7,"schoolId":133905,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Maize Intermediate School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Maize Intermediate School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/kansas/maize-unified-school-district-266/maize-intermediate-school/133905"}
