Your generous donations, and time, was deeply appreciated in the class, creating a big impact on us all, making memories, learning opportunities, and growth for everyone in my class. Because of you guys, our curiosity and perseverance was really tested, we were really able to explore something that genuinely didn't really cross our mind and we are really thankful to have this opportunity to have a really successful Intro to Rocket Science class.\r\n\r\nWe all learned that Rocket Science wasn't just about equations and fuel mixtures—it really showed us to push boundaries, pushing ourselves to be creative when making a design, problem solving, and really making us \"lock in\" to accomplish tasks and/or tasks at hand. Thanks to your work, many of us, including even the teacher, have been inspired to think bigger, aim higher, and believe in what we thought was \"too hard\" for us. This journey that we have been able to make was really an eye opening experience for us all.\r\n\r\nWhether it's engineering something, doing trial and error to find discoveries, and just growing our understatement, you guys really let us have that good push to create something that we thought we could only imagine, to actually seeing a launch happen. After all, everything was built from the ground up, we really did start from 0 to now knowing the basics thanks to your help \r\n\r\nPersonally, to most if not all of the Intro to Rocket Science, the learning about rocket science has been something that was really not in our \"to learn list\", it was just mostly out of curiosity, so seeing how far we have been able to come with this class made us all proud with others and ourselves. It has taught us all patience, problem-solving, and the importance of collaboration. It has shown us all that behind every successful launch is a team of minds working hard on a key part, taking time out of class to overcome challenges, and make everything successful.\r\n\r\nSo, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your dedication, help, and donation. \r\n\r\nWith deep appreciation, the Students of Intro to Rocket Science","fullyFundedDate":1741360098078,"projectUrl":"project/intro-to-rocket-science/9130695/","projectTitle":"Intro to Rocket Science!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. McNeil","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9833566"},{"teacherId":9243083,"projectId":9091098,"letterContent":"It is hard to overstate the excitement that our students have towards the microphone that they see all of the famous internet influencers using. Their enthusiasm for creating podcasts has skyrocketed and it has surprised even me!\r\n\r\nStudents love to pose in front of the mic like the pictures they see and have asked to initiate many different subjects worth of podcasting. This has gotten them researching and brought them out of their shells.\r\n\r\nNot only does the microphone 'look' cool, it functions extremely well and can be used for recording song vocals or drums or other things that go beyond the podcasting recording.\r\n\r\nThank you VERY much!!!","fullyFundedDate":1740876586601,"projectUrl":"project/podcasts-and-vocals-and-mics-oh-my/9091098/","projectTitle":"Podcasts and Vocals and Mics, oh my!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bilz","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9243083_orig.png?crop=288,288,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693590712919","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9243083"},{"teacherId":9243083,"projectId":9023727,"letterContent":"Our students were floored when they saw the brand new sets of mics.

These mics will give us a vastly superior amount of control and customization towards a stereo-imaged drum set. \r\n\r\nAs the quality improves, hopefully the program becomes more appealing to more students and the program can perpetuate itself.

This wouldn't be possible without the multitude of donations from donors such as yourselves. Our school's STEM program had been in dire need of funding for years and had gone without important projects such as this one. STEM classes such as Robotics are extremely important to the minds and futures of students because they give opportunities to find a passion in STEM fields.\r\n\tDonors such as yourselves are essential not only to the future of our school's STEM program and the other extraordinary projects that come out of it but also to the futures of students looking to pursue careers in the STEM field. Without funding, our Robotics program would not have been able to physically create the body of our robot, start the process of learning to code, or utilize different teamwork abilities in an engineering setting.
