Its stories helped students imagine themselves as future scientists. Children who once loved drawing became chemists, zoologists, and experts in animal behavior. Young athletes became astronauts, engineers, and researchers. Our students could see themselves reflected throughout the text, just as they saw themselves reflected in the stories shared by our visiting college scientists.\r\n\r\nThe combination of these shared experiences sparked curiosity, wonder, and inspiration among our students.\r\nThank you for supporting the next generation of scientists!","fullyFundedDate":1755868022521,"projectUrl":"project/the-next-scientists/9434983/","projectTitle":"The Next Scientists","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bartol","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8945660_orig.jpg?crop=960,960,x0,y124&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1675105874764","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8945660"},{"teacherId":8945660,"projectId":9027580,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generosity.
