Your support brought both a ChompSaw cardboard cutter and a FlashForge 3D Printer directly into the hands of our 500 Kindergarten through 5th-grade students, opening up a world of hands-on design and engineering.\r\n\r\nKindergarten – 2nd Grade: Our younger learners are using the safe ChompSaw cardboard cutter to transform simple recycled boxes into sturdy structures, shapes, animal habitats, and imaginative play sets. It has given them a safe, accessible way to learn basic engineering and spatial reasoning without the frustration of traditional scissors that are difficult for some students to use. Using this tool with our students that struggle with fine motor skills has been great! The tool makes using cardboard much more accessible to ALL students!\r\n\r\n3rd Grade – 5th Grade: Older students are diving headfirst into digital design with the FlashForge 3D Printer. We are learning about the different software applications used to create amazing models then watching their computer-generated ideas transform layer-by-layer into physical prototypes! It is definitely sparking an incredible enthusiasm for STEAM and technology at our school.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, our students are no longer just consumers of technology, they are active inventors, problem solvers, and creators. You have given about 500 young minds the tools to turn \"what if\" into reality, fostering a lifelong confidence in creative thinking.","fullyFundedDate":1778194030711,"projectUrl":"project/safely-turning-trash-into-tech-ideas-i/10068945/","projectTitle":"Safely Turning Trash into Tech & Ideas into Reality!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Garcia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp622158_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y509&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1769627238997","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carol-carlson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_44878","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":465,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":49,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":7,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"17.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":70.0,"schoolId":44878,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Hubert Humphrey Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Hubert Humphrey Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/albuquerque-public-schools/hubert-h-humphrey-elementary-school/44878"}
