The new mobile shelving units have changed how my students manage their robotics kits and materials. Instead of spending time unstacking heavy totes along the wall, they can now find what they need right away and get started with coding and problem-solving. It's a small change that has changed how smoothly our class runs daily.\r\n\r\nWhen the shelves arrived, one class eagerly volunteered to assemble them for everyone to use. They took pride in building something that would benefit all classes, working together to read instructions, align parts, and see the finished product take shape. Once the shelves were ready, students immediately noticed how much easier it was to stay organized. Each student has a clearly labeled spot for their robotics tote and a Ziploc bag with their headphones and computer mouse. They love finding their materials quickly without digging through piles or waiting for others to move things around. This level of organization has made transitions smoother, reduced frustration, and helped them start lessons with focus and confidence.","fullyFundedDate":1758202757189,"projectUrl":"project/shelves-that-keep-stem-learning-on-track/9686781/","projectTitle":"Shelves That Keep STEM Learning on Track","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7707315_orig.png?crop=581,581,x49,y22&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1660008067127","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7707315"},{"teacherId":9713713,"projectId":9048207,"letterContent":"Your generosity is appreciated!

Instead of pulling mismatched chairs from all over the room or standing through group work, they now have a comfortable place to sit and focus on their projects.\r\n\r\nThese stools have already made a noticeable difference in the way students collaborate. In one recent activity, small groups worked on brainstorming design ideas for a robotics project. The new seating made it easy for them to gather quickly, stay engaged, and keep their conversations flowing without distraction. Having the right tools for the job creates an environment where students feel valued, showing their willingness to share ideas and problem-solve together.\r\n\r\nThe next step for my students is to continue using these collaboration tables and stools as their hub for hands-on projects and group challenges throughout the year.

This broke the flow of lessons and caused unnecessary frustration. Now, with power at their workstations, students can stay focused and get more done during class.\r\n\r\nWhat made this even more special is that the students helped install the chargers themselves. They mounted the charging hubs underneath our tables, making it easier for everyone to plug in without disrupting their work. It gave them a sense of pride and ownership in creating a better learning environment.
