The materials from our Full STEAM Ahead: Forces at Work in Our Classroom project—dowels, clips, washers, and other building supplies—have transformed our students into true engineers and artists.\r\nStudents worked together to design, test, and refine their own balanced and moving sculptures. They explored real scientific concepts like force, motion, and gravity while also exercising their artistic flair and problem-solving skills. Watching their excitement as they adjusted weights and pivot points to make their creations balance or move just right was truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour support gave my students the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences that made abstract science ideas come alive. They weren't just hearing about forces—they were feeling and seeing them in action. Most importantly, you helped them gain confidence in their ability to design, create, and persevere through challenges.\r\nThank you for investing in our classroom and believing in the power of STEAM learning. You didn't just fund materials—you sparked curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning that will last long beyond this project.","fullyFundedDate":1755474857911,"projectUrl":"project/full-steam-ahead-forces-at-work-in-our/9590937/","projectTitle":"Full STEAM Ahead: Forces at Work in Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Nalisnik","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3576439_orig.jpg?crop=449,449,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1736735026631","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-nalisnik"},{"teacherId":3027337,"projectId":9218040,"letterContent":"I wanted to write a brief message to share my gratitude for these phonics games.
