The 3D printer and LEGO donations have given my students the chance to turn their ideas into real, tangible creations. Many of my students learn best when they can see, touch, and build, and this technology has made abstract concepts much more concrete. For example, when we study geometry or engineering basics, they can now design and print models to hold in their hands—something that makes the learning process both meaningful and unforgettable.\r\nThe excitement in the classroom is undeniable. Students rush to see their designs come to life layer by layer on the printer, and the LEGOs have become a favorite tool for planning and prototyping before moving to digital design. One student who often struggled to stay engaged in traditional lessons has completely blossomed through this project. He now eagerly comes to class with new design ideas, and his confidence has soared as he proudly shares his creations with peers.\r\nYour generosity has not only provided new tools but has opened doors to future possibilities. My students are learning to problem-solve, collaborate, and think like engineers and innovators. For special learners, having the chance to build, explore, and create with this technology is more than just fun—it's empowering. You've helped spark a passion for learning that will carry forward well beyond this school year, and for that, we are deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1747055049662,"projectUrl":"project/printing-possibilities-empowering-speci/9296069/","projectTitle":"Printing Possibilities: Empowering Special Learners Through 3D Innovation","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1056683_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450460518295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrssandiford"},{"teacherId":1056683,"projectId":8939624,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, a spark has been ignited in our classroom—and it's all because of LEGO!\r\n\r\nThe moment the LEGO kits arrived, my students lit up with joy and curiosity. For many of them, it was their first time working with resources that blended play with real-world STEM skills. Their excitement was contagious! One student held up a gear from the kit and shouted, \"We're real engineers now!\" That single moment summed up exactly why this project matters so much.\r\n\r\nSince receiving the kits, our classroom has transformed into a hub of exploration. Students from grades 3 through 5, all with unique learning needs, have been building, problem-solving, coding, and collaborating in ways I hadn't seen before. These kits have empowered them to take ownership of their learning and to believe in their own potential. Whether they're constructing a robot or figuring out how to make it move, they are fully engaged, focused, and having a blast while learning critical skills.\r\n\r\nOne particularly memorable project involved students designing their own \"helper robots\" to solve everyday problems—like carrying a pencil to a friend or alerting someone when the class pet needs food. The creativity and teamwork they showed was nothing short of inspiring. Even students who typically shy away from group tasks were stepping up, contributing ideas, and proudly presenting their creations.\r\n\r\nWhat's next? We'll be diving deeper into coding with these LEGO kits, challenging students to program their robots to complete obstacle courses and solve real-world challenges. As we continue our STEM journey, these resources will remain at the heart of our hands-on learning environment.\r\n\r\nYour support didn't just provide materials—it gave my students a sense of possibility. You've helped them see themselves as capable, creative, and future-ready.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you.","fullyFundedDate":1740752530868,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-better-tomorrow-brick-by-bric/8939624/","projectTitle":"Building a Better Tomorrow Brick by Brick with LEGO","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1056683_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450460518295","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrssandiford"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_110743","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":14,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":87.2,"schoolId":110743,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about P009Q @ PS 182 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"P009Q @ PS 182","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/p009q-public-school-277/110743"}
