These tools have already made a huge difference in our combat robotics class.\r\n\r\nHow we're using the new resources:\r\nStudents are currently wiring the drive motors and weapon systems for their combat robots. With the new soldering station, they can safely solder JST connectors, strengthen weak joints, and troubleshoot wiring issues on their own builds. The fume extractor has become one of the most important safety tools in our workspace. It allows students to focus on technique without worrying about fumes or discomfort, and it models what a real engineering lab is supposed to look like.\r\n\r\nA specific classroom moment: When the boxes were opened, the whole class clapped. They recognized the brand from YouTube engineering channels, and they kept saying, \"No way—this is OURS?\" The excitement was real. Students immediately asked when we could start wiring the robots. Students are finishing the electrical systems of their robots and will soon begin full testing: drive control, blade spin tests, and remote-control mapping. Once wiring is complete, they will move on to armor adjustments and pre-tournament safety checks. This equipment makes it possible for every team to get their robot competition-ready.\r\n\r\nImpact on student learning:\r\nThis project dramatically raised the skill level in our class. Students now practice professional-grade soldering techniques, understand polarity and current flow more clearly, and troubleshoot electrical failures with confidence. It transformed robotics from \"following steps\" into real engineering problem-solving. Many students have said this makes them want to pursue engineering or tech careers.\r\n\r\nAs a teacher, what this allowed me to accomplish:\r\nI can now run a safe, well-organized fabrication lab where students work independently at stations instead of waiting for me to do every connection. The tools brought our class to the next level, making advanced projects possible and giving students skills that translate directly into college and career pathways.","fullyFundedDate":1760655887967,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-engineering-learning-to-solder/9791773/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Engineering: Learning to Solder Like Real Robotics Technicians","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. PARAMANANDA","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8676040_orig.jpg?crop=1004,1004,x77,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1751848124376","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8676040"},{"teacherId":8676040,"projectId":9791783,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our classroom and fully funding our project for a fume extractor and soldering station.
