While these materials may seem simple, they are truly essential tools that power creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in our STEM classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, our students are able to move beyond textbooks and bring their ideas to life. Whether they are designing arcade games, building model cars, or constructing intricate marble mazes, these supplies allow them to explore concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a tangible and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nHot glue guns and glue sticks help students quickly assemble and test their designs, encouraging rapid prototyping and iterative thinking—an important part of the engineering process. Craft sticks become the framework for ramps, tracks, walls, and moving parts, allowing students to experiment with motion, angles, force, and structure as they refine their creations.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, your donation helps create an environment where curiosity thrives. Students collaborate, ask questions, and develop confidence in their ability to solve real-world problems. These moments of discovery are what make STEM education so powerful, and they are possible because of generous supporters like you.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' creativity, innovation, and future. Your contribution is making a real difference in our classroom every day.","fullyFundedDate":1773514836108,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-stem-creating-tomorrows-engin/10133184/","projectTitle":"Hands-On STEM: Creating Tomorrow’s Engineers Today","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Martinez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7887346"},{"teacherId":7887346,"projectId":10092964,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support of our project to provide external computer mice for our students. Your donation is making a meaningful difference in our classroom and in the way our students engage with technology.\r\n\r\nWith your help, students now have the tools they need to work more effectively on Chromebooks and other digital platforms. Having access to external mice greatly improves their ability to complete digital editing tasks, create projects, and navigate software with greater precision and confidence. For many students, this simple tool makes complex digital work far more accessible and enjoyable.\r\n\r\nYour contribution is helping students build important digital skills that they will carry with them into future classes and careers. It also allows them to focus more on creativity, collaboration, and learning rather than struggling with limited equipment.\r\n\r\nWe are truly grateful for your support and your investment in our students' success.

The spheros think in 360 degrees. Therefore students have to think how many degrees make a left turn, a right turn. What degree angle will make the sphero go backward. Students use their knowledge of velocity and acceleration to use the roll commands and other programming commands. \r\n\r\nThank you so much for the donation.
