They were immediately engaged like children with legos. They began working together to figure out how to make different models. They were already familiar with making models for the ecosystem disturbances project and this really complemented it.\r\n\r\nFor these projects, they studied issues like climate change and proposed solutions. It is one thing to research the solution, it is another to build a model of it. There were enough components in the kits to build various different green energy solutions such as solar panels, wind energy, water energy, etc. This materials really allowed the students to deepen their understanding of renewable energy and the practicalities of building for a more sustainable future. Thank you so much for your kind support of this project. We cannot thank you enough.","fullyFundedDate":1738170903753,"projectUrl":"project/give-students-circuit-kits-to-solve-ecol/9081111/","projectTitle":"Give Students Circuit Kits to Solve Ecological Challenges","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. D.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp416744_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1458579616198","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/416744"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_101173","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":351,"numTeachers":28,"percentFrplEligible":84,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":11,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":76,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"12.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":59.1,"schoolId":101173,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about International High School - Union Square on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"International High School - Union Square","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/international-high-school-union-sq/101173"}
