Through this project, we are excited to introduce the world of coding and game design to our students using a Nintendo Switch 2 and Game Builder Garage.\r\nCoding is a universal skill that empowers learners of all abilities to think critically, express themselves, and solve complex problems. By exploring game design in a hands-on, interactive way, students will move from simply playing games to understanding how they are built. They will learn to design levels, program characters, test ideas, and revise their work—developing resilience and perseverance along the way.\r\nGame Builder Garage makes coding approachable and engaging. Its visual, interactive format supports differentiated learning by allowing students to work at their own pace and create projects that reflect their unique interests.\r\nBeyond technical skills, this project fosters creativity, collaboration, and confidence. \r\nThank you for investing in our students' curiosity, imagination, and potential.","fullyFundedDate":1763486587160,"projectUrl":"project/building-tomorrows-creators-a-coding-l/9900042/","projectTitle":"Building Tomorrow's Creators: A Coding Learning Center","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mei","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7229990_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y386&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1695058779739","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7229990"},{"teacherId":7229990,"projectId":9913708,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our students and believing in the power of literacy.

We want to change that. Our goal is to transform reading into something joyful, empowering, and celebrated. Through this challenge, students will set independent reading goals, track their progress, and participate in school-wide literacy activities that build both skills and confidence.\r\nYour generosity does more than provide prizes. It helps create a culture where books are exciting, progress is recognized, and students feel proud of their accomplishments. It gives our children something to strive for—and shows them that their community believes in their success.\r\nBecause of you, we are not just rewarding readers; we are building confident learners who understand that dedication leads to opportunity.
