By exploring drones and navigating obstacle courses, students will develop early problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and an understanding of cause and effect. Most importantly, these experiences will build confidence and curiosity while showing students that STEM is something they can explore, understand, and enjoy. For many of our students, this may be their first opportunity to interact with this type of technology, making these experiences especially meaningful and helping build a strong foundation for future STEM learning.","fullyFundedDate":1777910122474,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-pilots-big-ideas-bringing-stem-to/10199767/","projectTitle":"Tiny Pilots, Big Ideas: Bringing STEM to Pre-K","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Perito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9927182"},{"teacherId":3741763,"projectId":10196622,"letterContent":"These materials have helped transform outdoor learning for our Pre-K students into a colorful, hands-on experience filled with movement, creativity, and exploration.
