These materials have already made a big impact on our students' learning and creativity this year.\r\n\r\nOur students have enjoyed using the rock tumbler to explore geology hands-on, watching rough stones transform into polished gems. The Circuit STEM kit has sparked curiosity and problem-solving as students experiment with building circuits and learning how electricity flows. The KNEX sets have been a favorite during engineering challenges, allowing students to design, build, and test structures while practicing teamwork and perseverance.\r\n\r\nYour support has given our students meaningful opportunities to explore, create, and grow in STEM. Thank you for helping us provide engaging, real-world experiences that inspire our future scientists, engineers, and innovators.","fullyFundedDate":1742487806007,"projectUrl":"project/future-innovators-stem-tools-for-tomorr/9039319/","projectTitle":"Future Innovators: STEM Tools for Tomorrow's Leaders","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. J.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3264722"},{"teacherId":3264722,"projectId":9009893,"letterContent":"The 3-D printer has transformed learning in our STEM room from theoretical to hands-on. Instead of just reading about engineering, design, or geometry, students can now create real-world models that demonstrate these concepts. They're learning to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate—just like professionals in tech and engineering fields. It's especially helpful for visual and kinesthetic learners who benefit from building and seeing their ideas come to life.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is seeing their digital designs become real, tangible objects. Whether it's printing a prototype for an invention, a piece for a robotics project, or a custom-made tool to solve a classroom challenge, the \"wow\" factor never gets old. It gives them a huge sense of accomplishment and shows them that their ideas can have real impact.\r\n\r\nAll students in our small school K-6 are benefitting from this awesome donation as they can to print their own desk pet when they reach goals with behaviors.","fullyFundedDate":1742486592791,"projectUrl":"project/3-d-printer-to-bring-our-projects-to-lif/9009893/","projectTitle":"3-D Printer to Bring Our Projects to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. J.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3264722"},{"teacherId":5601260,"projectId":9172994,"letterContent":"Thank you for your donation of 3D pens and filament to my K-12 Art Room. The addition of these pens has allowed for 1 to 1 use with the pens. This allows students more access to the tool and the ability to have more creative time on their projects. \r\nThanks to your donation we are able to incorporate science and math into the art class room as students work to make their project 3D and structurally sound. They are able to take their drawings and art work and create a model of them 3 dimensionally. \r\nStudents love being able to work with the 3D pens to create many projects and use their creativity to make functioning art.
