In a science classroom where hands-on experiments, projects, and lab activities happen every day, keeping our space clean and safe can be a real challenge. This new robot vacuum has become an essential helper—quietly maintaining our floors, reducing dust and debris, and giving students a cleaner, healthier space to learn. It has saved us valuable time that we can now dedicate to instruction, preparation, and meaningful learning experiences rather than constant cleanup.\r\nMost importantly, this small but mighty tool has made students feel proud of their classroom. They love seeing it glide across the room, keeping the space tidy and ready for the next lesson. The robot vacuum has supported not just cleanliness but responsibility and respect for our shared environment. Your generosity has truly elevated our classroom experience, helping us maintain a safe, welcoming, and organized space where students can focus, collaborate, and explore with excitement. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and for believing in the needs of our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1747342487467,"projectUrl":"project/clean-to-learn-robot-vacuum-in-the-clas/9081487/","projectTitle":"Clean to Learn: Robot Vacuum in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Carnazo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8286105_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642737252233","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-unsun"},{"teacherId":8025304,"projectId":9716631,"letterContent":"Every day in our Media Arts class, I watch students discover the power of their own voices—sometimes for the very first time. They come in shy, unsure if their stories are worth telling, and leave with the spark of confidence that comes from being heard.\r\n\r\nRight now, they're recording podcasts and narrations with whatever equipment we can find—often sharing one basic microphone or using laptop mics that pick up every background sound. Despite these challenges, their passion never fades. But I know how transformative it would be for them to hear themselves clearly, professionally, and proudly—without the hum, echo, or distortion that can make their hard work sound \"less than.\"\r\n\r\nThe Shure SM7B microphone isn't just a piece of equipment—it's a bridge between their potential and their reality. When a student hears their voice captured in studio-quality sound, something shifts. They realize their ideas matter. Their stories matter. They matter.\r\n\r\nThis microphone will give them the tools professionals use, but more importantly, it will give them validation—the feeling that their creativity deserves the same quality and respect as the artists and journalists they look up to. It will help them share stories from their communities with clarity and pride, building confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, this could be the first time they see themselves not just as students, but as creators, storytellers, and future professionals. That's the true impact of this project: it gives them the power to speak, to be heard, and to believe that their voice can move the world.","fullyFundedDate":1758829440941,"projectUrl":"project/professional-sound-student-voice-studi/9716631/","projectTitle":"Professional Sound, Student Voice: Studio Mic for Our Media Creators","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Karen Lagunero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8025304_orig.jpg?crop=1982,1983,x0,y39&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706040181062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8025304"},{"teacherId":8025304,"projectId":9716581,"letterContent":"Media education has truly transformed my classroom into a space full of creativity, passion, and purpose. My students work so hard to share information and tell stories that bring our whole school community together. They design fliers, posters, newsletters, yearbooks, announcements, invitations, and even video presentations — you name it, they can do it! Every project they create reflects not just their growing skills, but also their dedication to making our school a better, more connected place.\r\n\r\nHowever, even with all their enthusiasm, we face one big challenge — resources. Right now, my students share only two cameras for all their projects. Sometimes, they even use their own phones just so they can capture a moment or a story worth telling, even though phones aren't allowed during school hours. It breaks my heart to see their creativity limited simply because we don't have enough tools to support their learning.\r\n\r\nIf we could have an additional camera, it would make a world of difference. My students would be able to capture school events more effectively, finish their projects on time, and focus on improving the quality of their work. Most importantly, it would give them the chance to fully express their talents and take pride in what they create.\r\n\r\nThese students are incredibly talented and passionate — they just need the right tools to help them shine. In today's digital world, giving them access to updated technology doesn't just build their skills; it builds their confidence, their curiosity, and their excitement to learn. With a new camera, they'll not only tell better stories — they'll continue to grow as young creators who can inspire others through their lens.","fullyFundedDate":1760475919360,"projectUrl":"project/360-storytelling-bringing-student-crea/9716581/","projectTitle":"360° Storytelling: Bringing Student Creativity to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Karen Lagunero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8025304_orig.jpg?crop=1982,1983,x0,y39&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706040181062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8025304"},{"teacherId":8025304,"projectId":9129298,"letterContent":"We are incredibly grateful for your support, which made it possible for our Media Arts class to receive the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 16–50mm lens. This isn't just a camera—it's a gateway to creativity, confidence, and hands-on learning for our students.\r\n\r\nWhile many of us use cameras in everyday life, this professional-grade equipment has opened our students' eyes to what's possible when technology and storytelling come together. With its high-resolution imaging, fast autofocus, and outstanding video capabilities, the ZV-E10 allows our students to produce content that looks and feels cinematic. They're learning real-world skills—like filming interviews, directing short documentaries, and creating vlogs—that prepare them for careers in digital media and beyond.\r\n\r\nWhat excites our students most is how professional their work now looks. The flip-out screen and microphone input allow them to record themselves and others with ease, making them feel like real creators. Whether filming a school event, producing a class news segment, or creating a video essay, the quality of their footage has noticeably improved—and so has their pride in their work.\r\n\r\nOne student in particular—who has always been passionate about film but never had access to high-quality equipment—has taken the lead on several projects. They've begun storyboarding, directing, and editing with a new level of precision and vision. The confidence they've gained through this process has been nothing short of inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour donation has truly empowered our students to tell their stories in powerful, professional ways. Thank you for investing in their creativity and growth. Because of you, they're not just learning—they're creating.","fullyFundedDate":1747342488091,"projectUrl":"project/media-competence-behind-the-lens/9129298/","projectTitle":"Media Competence Behind the Lens","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Karen Lagunero","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8025304_orig.jpg?crop=1982,1983,x0,y39&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1706040181062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8025304"},{"teacherId":8286105,"projectId":8829073,"letterContent":"I am truly grateful for your generosity and kindness in sharing your financial resources to help make my project a reality.
