Your contributions have had a tremendous impact on our students with visual impairments. Our new 3D printer has provided our students with access to materials that make learning more meaningful. With your help, we have been able to create a variety of tactile manipulatives that supports the curriculum and allows the students to engage with visual concepts in a hands-on way.\r\n\r\nThese tactile materials have been valuable in helping students access visual information that is often difficult to experience or to conceptually understand. In particular, we have created a range of manipulatives to support geometry and mathematics instruction, giving students the opportunity to explore shapes, angles, and spatial relationships. Additionally, we were able to design tactile models of planets, which have made abstract science concepts more concrete and accessible for our students. We have so many more ideas in store, the possibilities seem endless!\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped us enhance our students' learning by helping them build confidence, deepen their understanding, and fully participate in their education. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for making a difference in our classroom/program. Thank you for believing in our students and in the power of accessible learning.","fullyFundedDate":1766985676160,"projectUrl":"project/accessible-education-3d-printed-tactile/9971165/","projectTitle":"Accessible Education: 3D Printed Tactile Learning Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dias","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10391295"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94402","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":547,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":45,"percentAsian":42,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":24,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":25,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.0,"schoolId":94402,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bell Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bell Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/bell-academy/94402"}
