While many of our donors may use technology at home for communication or entertainment, in our classroom, this tool is helping students create and problem-solve in new ways. With this technology, students are able to bring math and coding to life—designing geometric shapes, exploring angles, and applying their understanding of measurement to build real projects. What once felt like abstract math concepts now feel hands-on and meaningful, allowing students to visualize how geometry connects to the real world.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for my students has been seeing their ideas turn into something tangible. They are amazed that they can design something on the screen and then watch it come to life as a 3D model. This technology gives them ownership of their learning—they're not just following steps, they're inventing, testing, and improving their own creations. Several students who were once hesitant in math have found a new confidence through designing with this tool, realizing that math isn't just numbers on a page—it's a language for creativity. Watching them collaborate, problem-solve, and proudly show off their projects has been incredible.\r\n\r\nThis 3D computer has opened doors for all of my students, especially those who learn best through hands-on, visual experiences. It has encouraged curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Most importantly, it's shown my students that with imagination and persistence, they can be the creators of tomorrow's technology.\r\n\r\nThank you so much for your generous donations and your support! I hope you will consider donating to my classroom in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1759359073510,"projectUrl":"project/turning-ideas-into-reality-help-fund-ou/9601817/","projectTitle":"Turning Ideas Into Reality: Help Fund Our 3D Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Goldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3692974_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1469584592037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/s-goldman"},{"teacherId":3692974,"projectId":9749897,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donations, our classroom has been transformed into an interactive and engaging learning space. The document camera has become one of our most valuable tools—it allows every student to clearly see what's being taught, whether it's a math problem, a science experiment, or a piece of student writing. Instead of crowding around one desk, the entire class can now view the same document or model in real time, ensuring that every student has equal access to learning. This technology also helps me model problem-solving strategies step-by-step, making complex lessons easier to understand and more visual for all learners.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is that they get to be the teachers, too! With the document camera, students can proudly share their own work with the class, demonstrate their thinking, and explain their solutions. The hands-on math manipulatives donated along with this project pair perfectly with the technology—students can show how they build fractions, measure shapes, or explore STEM concepts right under the camera for everyone to see. This interactive learning experience helps concepts come to life and builds confidence in presenting their ideas.\r\n\r\nSome of my more reserved students have truly blossomed since we began using this technology. One student who was once hesitant to participate now volunteers eagerly to share her work using the document camera, excited that her classmates can see her strategies. The combination of technology and hands-on materials has not only supported visual and kinesthetic learners but also fostered a stronger classroom community where every student's ideas are valued and celebrated.\r\n\r\nI hope you will consider donating to my classroom again in the future!","fullyFundedDate":1759359073917,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-learning-we-can-do-together/9749897/","projectTitle":"Hands-On Learning We Can Do Together","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Goldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3692974_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1469584592037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/s-goldman"},{"teacherId":3692974,"projectId":9380698,"letterContent":"Thank you for your incredible support of our recent classroom supply project. Your generosity has already made a remarkable difference for my fourth-grade students.\r\n\r\nThe excitement began the moment the office called to say boxes had arrived. Several students nearly jumped out of their seats as they were chosen to go help bring the packages upstairs. They came back beaming, arms full of boxes, and the whole class clapped as we began to open them. \r\n\r\nWe immediately put the new materials to work. Using the fresh art supplies and math manipulatives, students collaborated on a science-and-geometry activity, designing 3-D models of Olympic arenas to connect with our current unit on energy and motion. They proudly shared their creations and were eager to teach classmates how they used the tools to make their ideas come alive.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has given my students not only essential resources but also a sense of being seen and valued. They know that people beyond our school believe in their potential, and that encouragement shows in their enthusiasm and confidence.\r\n\r\nThank you again for opening doors of creativity and possibility for our class. Your kindness will resonate far beyond this school year. I hope you will consider donating to another one of my projects in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1757552588229,"projectUrl":"project/tools-for-success/9380698/","projectTitle":"Tools For Success!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Goldman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3692974_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1469584592037","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/s-goldman"},{"teacherId":3692974,"projectId":9035836,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom!
