Your support has provided an incredible opportunity for our K-5 students to engage with VEX robotics, and we are excited to see the impact this program has on their learning and growth.\r\n\r\nOur goal for this project was to create a sport using VEX robots, where students not only learned valuable STEAM concepts but also developed teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. This project has allowed them to experience hands-on learning that is both challenging and fun, while also encouraging creativity and collaboration.\r\n\r\nWe are looking forward to continuing to work together with these amazing tools to complete our tasks, and we can't wait to begin our work with the VEX robots in the 2025-2026 school year.

The mobility of the stand allows me to position the screen for optimal viewing, ensuring that every student, no matter where they sit, has a clear view.

The TV also eliminates the need for a projector and screen setup, making transitions between lessons smoother and maximizing instructional time.\r\n\r\nThis upgrade has also made my classroom more versatile and collaborative. Students can now easily engage in group discussions, participate in interactive learning games, and explore new concepts through vivid multimedia presentations. The rolling stand allows for flexibility, so I can adjust the setup for small group work, whole-class instruction, or even special events. The addition of this large display has not only improved engagement and accessibility but has also created an exciting and modern learning environment that keeps students motivated and eager to participate.","fullyFundedDate":1569266361489,"projectUrl":"project/mount-a-tv-in-a-portable/4142823/","projectTitle":"Mount a TV in a Portable","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Alicea","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6463791_orig.jpg?crop=1342,1342,x118,y174&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1559265387767","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6463791"},{"teacherId":9407145,"projectId":8466562,"letterContent":"These incredible books have made a world of difference for our students.
