Many students were nervous we wouldn't be able to get more materials or they would have to spend countless hours fundraising and begging businesses for money, however a company stepped in and fully funded our program. They were thrilled that more teams could be formed and build competitive designs. The next steps are to attend the regional SeaPerch competition to see how well their designs hold up under competition conditions. Again, thank you for your generosity and investment into our students.","fullyFundedDate":1761148751654,"projectUrl":"project/parts-needed-to-create-underwater-robot/9795636/","projectTitle":"Parts Needed to Create Underwater Robot Designs","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Diehl","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3136089_orig.png?crop=302,302,x224,y13&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759782778012","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3136089"},{"teacherId":3136089,"projectId":9795095,"letterContent":"Students have successfully built an underwater robot and is set to compete in the regional SeaPerch competition in March.

They were super excited to get started and although it was difficult at first, they gained confidence and started to initiate ideas and new designs together. They quickly formed a working team which helped each other and shared ideas and supported new and different approaches to the problem.

The new whiteboards have contributed towards a dynamic, collaborative learning space in my classroom. My students were absolutely thrilled when they first saw the new whiteboards mounted around the room. We have been using them frequently, and the additional whiteboards have allowed me to fully accommodate my larger classes. My students' ability to visually represent their thinking and collaborate effectively has been greatly enhanced by your generous donations. \r\n\r\nWith my smaller class, each student can get their own vertical whiteboard during independent practice time, which makes it easy for me to quickly scan the room and see students' thinking and common misconceptions. \r\n\r\nWe will soon use the magnetic coordinate planes in our coordinate plane unit and my students will be very grateful to have these magnetic coordinate planes to easily work with graphs on a whiteboard. You have truly empowered my students to become active, engaged learners, and for that, I am immensely grateful.\r\n\r\nYour contributions have made a tangible difference in my students' learning, and I am excited to see the continued growth and learning that these whiteboards will facilitate.
