They enjoy a break in the monotonous day to day notes, lectures, presentations, and computer work. It does them good to interact with their peers. They actually get pretty competitive. I enjoy watching them really get into and enjoying learning. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity for me to give the opportunity to them.

Johnson CTE Center. Your donation of sketching tools has brought a noticeable boost to our Intro to CAD classroom as students prepare for their AutoCAD Certified User exam. With your help, students now have quality tools to translate digital concepts into precise technical drawings that strengthen their understanding of spatial geometry and design fundamentals.\r\nSince receiving the new materials, my students have been using them in daily sketching exercises and test prep assignments. One of their upcoming projects includes sketching a helicopter blade or airplane airfoil, where they'll apply real-world engineering principles to their designs. These tools are especially valuable for bridging the gap between manual engineering drawing and computer-aided modeling, allowing students to refine accuracy, proportion, and line technique before transferring their work into AutoCAD.\r\nWhen the students first saw the new supplies, the classroom filled with excitement and genuine smiles. Many said how much easier and more enjoyable it was to create neat and detailed sketches now that they had the proper instruments. These tools have not only improved the quality of their drawings but have also built confidence as they move closer to industry certification. Your generosity has had a positive and lasting impact on their learning experience.","fullyFundedDate":1755712820083,"projectUrl":"project/sketching-tools/9576188/","projectTitle":"Sketching Tools","teacherDisplayName":"Coach Baylor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7883333"},{"teacherId":7883333,"projectId":9417148,"letterContent":"The generous support from Donors Choose donors had a meaningful impact on Bill R Johnson CTE Center engineering students involved in the Charging the Future project. Their contributions provided students with essential resources, including power supplies, charging towers, and a variety of charging ports and cables for their cellular devices, directly enhancing classroom learning and productivity.\r\n\r\n\r\nWith these new charging stations and accessories, students were able to keep their devices powered during classes and project work, reducing disruptions and ensuring they had consistent access to digital tools for research, design, and communication. This improved both the efficiency and flexibility of classroom activities.\r\n\r\nHaving reliable access to charged devices allowed engineering students to fully engage in their coursework, especially when modeling, conducting digital research, or collaborating on engineering projects. These enhancements made it possible to maximize instructional time and enriched the hands-on learning environment.\r\n\r\nA heartfelt thank you goes to all donors who supported the Charging the Future project. The power supplies, charging towers, ports, and cables you provided have become invaluable to daily student life.

It is difficult sometimes to purchase all of these items on my own especially when purchasing so many other items and basic needs for my classes and especially with the large numbers of students.
