This project has sparked their creativity and problem-solving abilities, which will help students well beyond the classroom, and it has opened doors to practical, real-world applications of technology that go beyond textbooks. \r\nCoding and engineering have been more engaging since we introduced Arduino into our curriculum. Students actually construct, code, and troubleshoot their own robotic systems rather than only reading about circuits or programming logic. They have a hands-on foundation in STEM subjects since they have learned how to automate processes utilizing sensors, LEDs, motors, and more. For our students, nothing has been more exciting than watching their code come to life. They enjoy seeing their creations come to life, whether it's building a smart home system, operating a robotic arm, or programming an automatic traffic signal.\r\nA few students have truly enjoyed this new learning experience, even though all of them have acquired useful abilities. A student who had never coded before was immediately captivated by Arduino. Another student, who had been apprehensive about robotics at first, became more confident through practical experience.\r\nBecause of your help, our students are learning how to create with technology, not simply how to use it. Your help has given them the ability to solve problems, be creative thinkers, and eventually become engineers.\r\n\r\nThank you very much for making this possible!","fullyFundedDate":1735421987582,"projectUrl":"project/smart-automation-with-arduino-robotics/8700681/","projectTitle":"Smart Automation with Arduino Robotics","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dejan","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9393786"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_82773","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":109,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":88,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":73,"percentLatinx":20,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":60.0,"schoolId":82773,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Jemez Valley High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Jemez Valley High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-mexico/jemez-valley-public-school-district/jemez-valley-high-school/82773"}
