By providing access to tools such as accessible learning materials, and hands-on activities, you helped create a more inclusive and empowering learning environment. These resources allowed the girls to engage with STEM subjects—science, technology, engineering, and math—on their own terms, breaking down barriers that previously excluded them from full participation. For many of them, this was their first opportunity to explore these fields in a way that acknowledged and accommodated their unique needs.\r\n\r\nAs a result, the girls gained confidence, new skills, and a stronger sense of belonging in academic spaces that often overlook students with disabilities. I have first handed seen an increased enthusiasm and participation, and many of the girls expressed a newfound interest in pursuing STEM careers in the future. Your support not only helped open doors to education—it also sent a powerful message that their voices and potential matter. Through your donations, you played a vital role in building a more equitable and diverse future in STEM.","fullyFundedDate":1743982336151,"projectUrl":"project/stem-for-girls-with-disabilities/9090029/","projectTitle":"STEM for Girls With Disabilities","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Young","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9552780"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_45510","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":485,"numTeachers":36,"percentFrplEligible":75,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":67,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":11,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":2,"percentMultiracialImputed":10,"gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":76.0,"schoolId":45510,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Harry S Truman Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Harry S Truman Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/missouri/st-joseph-school-district/harry-s-truman-middle-school/45510"}
