Instead of just talking about coding or technology, students get to see their work come to life. They program lights, respond to movement, and work together, which builds problem solving skills and helps them understand how technology is used in the real world.\r\n\r\n What excites my students most is how fun and interactive the Micro bits are. Students who are usually quiet become more engaged, and some enjoy stepping up to help classmates when something does not work right away. This has helped build confidence and teamwork in our classroom.\r\n\r\n My students are curious, determined, and eager to learn. Having this technology gives them pride in their work and encourages them to keep trying. Your support is making a real difference by helping them grow, explore new ideas, and believe in what they can achieve.","fullyFundedDate":1762303517681,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-future-innovators-with-micro/9541632/","projectTitle":"Empowering Future Innovators With Micro:bit Mini Computers!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Frye","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3858903_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524763427420","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3858903"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_15203","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":429,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":72,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":33,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":17,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 4","studentTeacherRatio":"12.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":37.9,"schoolId":15203,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Martin Bluff Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Martin Bluff Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/mississippi/pascagoula-gautier-school-district/martin-bluff-elementary-school/15203"}
