Your support equips students with essential tools such as measuring instruments and data-collection resources that help transform abstract concepts into real-world understanding. By using these materials, students are able to conduct experiments with greater precision, analyze results, and develop a stronger foundation in scientific and mathematical reasoning.\r\n\r\nYour donations also play a critical role in teaching students the importance of accuracy, consistency, and critical thinking in STEM learning. As students collect and interpret measurable data, they gain hands-on experience with the scientific process and learn how evidence supports conclusions. These skills are fundamental not only to STEM careers but also to problem-solving in everyday life. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for helping students build confidence and competence through authentic, data-driven learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1760141570814,"projectUrl":"project/launching-learning-by-measuring-stem-in/9664086/","projectTitle":"Launching Learning by Measuring STEM in Action","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dickman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8368310_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687560040418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8368310"},{"teacherId":8368310,"projectId":9709427,"letterContent":"Thank you to our generous donors for providing the crafting materials that help bring student STEM projects to life. Your support allows students to move beyond concepts on paper and turn their ideas into physical models and prototypes. With access to quality materials, students are able to design, build, test, and refine their projects in meaningful ways, making learning more engaging, creative, and authentic. These hands-on experiences encourage problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation while helping students take pride in their work.\r\n\r\nYour contributions also strongly support students who learn best through a tactile learning modality. By working directly with materials—cutting, assembling, measuring, and constructing—students deepen their understanding of STEM concepts through touch and movement. This type of learning reinforces critical thinking and helps concepts \"stick\" in ways that traditional instruction alone cannot. We are deeply thankful for your generosity and the lasting impact it has on student confidence, curiosity, and success in STEM learning.","fullyFundedDate":1762266266539,"projectUrl":"project/creative-supplies-for-imaginative-stem-p/9709427/","projectTitle":"Creative Supplies for Imaginative STEM Projects","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dickman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8368310_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687560040418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8368310"},{"teacherId":8368310,"projectId":9664090,"letterContent":"Thank you for your generous support in purchasing color printer ink for our program. Your donation plays a vital role in bringing student work to life, allowing designs, plans, and presentations to be printed in vibrant color rather than plain black and white. This added dimension helps students better visualize their ideas, take pride in their work, and communicate their thinking more clearly. Seeing their projects in full color boosts engagement, creativity, and confidence in what they are creating.\r\n\r\nYour contribution was especially impactful in showcasing the Building House Project. With access to color printing, students were able to present detailed blueprints, layouts, and visual elements that accurately reflected their hard work and attention to detail. The ability to display these materials in color made the project more professional and easier for others to understand, highlighting both the learning process and the final results. We are truly grateful for your support and the meaningful difference it makes in our students' educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1759264890825,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-student-stem-work-to-life-in-co/9664090/","projectTitle":"Bringing Student STEM Work to Life in Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dickman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8368310_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687560040418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8368310"},{"teacherId":8368310,"projectId":9664189,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your kind and generous donations.

The expo markers have been a huge help with students interacting in whole group activities and discussions. \r\n\r\nOne particular activity we did was graphing the data they have collected from a project they did. Using expo markers provided a more efficient outlet for kids to graph. Instead of using paper and pencil, students could use the expo markers over and over again to calculate and graph out their data. It was much easier to make mistakes and be able to start over verse using paper.","fullyFundedDate":1757522545077,"projectUrl":"project/write-wipe-learn-repeat/9664189/","projectTitle":"Write, Wipe, Learn, Repeat!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Dickman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8368310_orig.jpg?crop=3024,3024,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1687560040418","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8368310"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_85221","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":380,"numTeachers":24,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":19,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"15.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":60.2,"schoolId":85221,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Wright Brothers Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Wright Brothers Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/dayton-public-school-district/orville-wright-pre-k-8-school/85221"}
