What Problem? Inquiring Minds Want to Learn!\"**, designed to supplement our Technology days. Students worked in collaborative teams to identify real-world problems, brainstorm solutions, and create prototypes using the materials. One of the most powerful moments was watching students test an idea, realize it needed improvement, and eagerly revise their designs—embracing problem-solving rather than giving up.\r\n\r\nStudents' excitement was immediate when the materials arrived. They were eager to explore, ask questions, and get hands-on right away. Many shared that the experience felt like \"real inventing,\" and even students who are typically hesitant showed confidence, creativity, and strong teamwork as they engaged with the tools.\r\n\r\nMoving forward, students will continue refining their designs, documenting their thinking with digital tools, and reflecting on how their solutions could be improved or applied to real-world situations. Thanks to our donors, Technology days have been transformed into meaningful, student-driven STEM experiences that empower learners to think critically and creatively.","fullyFundedDate":1759369239164,"projectUrl":"project/problem-what-problem-inquiring-minds-w/9446550/","projectTitle":"Problem?
