Because of your generosity, my students now have the tools they need to code and control our LEGO Spike Prime car with confidence. Many people think of laptops as everyday household items, but in the classroom, this new laptop has opened doors my students never had before. It has allowed them to write, test, and refine their own programs—watching in real time as their code makes the car move, turn, and even navigate small challenges.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the immediate connection between their ideas and the car's movements. They aren't just pressing buttons—they are learning that every line of code matters, and that persistence pays off when the car finally runs just the way they planned. I've seen students who were hesitant at first become completely engaged, leaning in with smiles and determination as they debugged their code. One student who often struggles to stay focused has found real joy in seeing the car respond to their coding, even proudly showing classmates how to make it move more smoothly.\r\n\r\nYour gift has given my students a chance to see themselves as problem-solvers, engineers, and creators. It has made robotics real and inspiring in our classroom, and it is planting the seeds of confidence and curiosity that will carry them far into the future. Thank you for believing in these students and giving them this opportunity to discover what they are capable of.","fullyFundedDate":1752485029246,"projectUrl":"project/code-to-create-a-laptop-for-chinook-rob/9456796/","projectTitle":"Code to Create: A Laptop for Chinook Robotics","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Vinluan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9595123_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721152057877","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9595123"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78307","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":173,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":55,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":5,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"19.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":78307,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chinook Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chinook Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/montana/chinook-school-district-10/chinook-junior-senior-high-school/78307"}
