Many donors know drones as something fun to use at home, but in our classroom they've become a powerful tool for teamwork, problem-solving, and real-world STEM skills. Students plan flight paths, calculate distance, and learn responsibility while practicing safety and control.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for them is getting to see the world from above, watching their flight plan actually happen in real time. Even students who often struggle with focus or behavior have become highly motivated. One student who rarely participates now volunteers to lead our drone checks and has become the go-to \"flight assistant\" for the class.\r\n\r\nThe drone hasn't just added technology, it's added confidence, curiosity, and a reason for every student to stay engaged.","fullyFundedDate":1746785958429,"projectUrl":"project/lights-camera-lift-off/9253648/","projectTitle":"Lights, Camera, Lift-Off!!","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Roman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7731823_orig.png?crop=332,332,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626324258402","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7731823"},{"teacherId":7731823,"projectId":9253712,"letterContent":"Our new 3D printer has opened up a whole new world for my students. Many of them struggle with confidence and hands-on engagement, and this technology has given them a way to create, build, and bring their ideas to life. Instead of just talking about problem-solving, they now get to design, test, and improve real objects.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is seeing something they imagined actually print in front of them, it turns abstract thinking into something they can hold. Even my students with behavior challenges, who often shut down during traditional work, have been incredibly motivated. One student who usually avoids assignments now comes in early to check on his designs and has become our \"3D expert,\" helping others learn the process.\r\n\r\nThis printer hasn't just added technology to our classroom, it's added pride, engagement, and a sense of ownership in learning.","fullyFundedDate":1746786245717,"projectUrl":"project/ctrl-p-creating-real-life-with-a-3d-p/9253712/","projectTitle":"CTRL + P: Creating Real Life With a 3D Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Roman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7731823_orig.png?crop=332,332,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1626324258402","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7731823"},{"teacherId":9920461,"projectId":9106991,"letterContent":"We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors for providing cameras and equipment for our Alexander Middle School AV Club.

Your donation has made a significant difference in how we manage our technology. With 30 devices in constant use, keeping them charged and organized was a daily struggle.

This simple change has greatly improved our classroom's efficiency and organization.\r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, students can focus more on learning and less on managing equipment. This charging cart has created a more productive environment, helping students develop independence and responsibility for their devices.

They are able to put them away at the end of the day without any confusion also. This cuts down on time spent away from learning.
