The extra colors of PLA helped us get out the personalized prints our students created with their \"3D\" self portrait project. Students were motivated to get their projects designed and printed quickly so they could take advantage of the new color offerings before they ran out.\r\n\r\nEnvironmental science has been using their tools to take water quality measurements as well as other data pertaining to their ongoing study of controlled environment agriculture vs. traditional growing methods. For many of these students, this is their first experience with this type of equipment and with growing things in general.\r\n\r\nThe lab aprons have also come in clinch, keeping us on track and safe at the same time. Thanks so much for contributing to these valuable improvements in our day to day studies.","fullyFundedDate":1757623114885,"projectUrl":"project/put-the-tech-in-stem/9528530/","projectTitle":"Put the Tech in STEM","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. H","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ptaand"},{"teacherId":10085047,"projectId":9480403,"letterContent":"We are excited to share our appreciation for your generous donation supporting our Hydroponic Lettuce Project in the 8th- and 9th-grade science classrooms. Thanks to your contribution, students will begin this hands-on investigation in January, aligning with our TEKS-based curriculum.\r\n\r\nThis project connects directly to our studies on photosynthesis and cellular respiration, allowing students to observe these cycles in real time as they grow and maintain lettuce plants using hydroponic systems. Through this experience, students will explore topics such as plant growth, nutrient cycles, and sustainable agriculture—all while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nYour support helps transform science learning from textbook concepts into vibrant, real-world investigations. On behalf of our students and teachers, thank you for making this meaningful, engaging project possible.","fullyFundedDate":1758229819139,"projectUrl":"project/let-us-build-a-garden/9480403/","projectTitle":"Let Us Build a Garden","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Margaret Silva","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10085047_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y123&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1752938346051","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msilvasciencesuccess"},{"teacherId":6876266,"projectId":9308004,"letterContent":"My students were thrilled to receive the eSports basics from my Donor's Choose project. They spent time painting a room designated for eSports and hanging lighting to make it look super cool. Getting set up served as a great team exercise. Students implemented a mini-engineering design process and found bits and pieces of needed items from different places on campus to complete their set-up. The camaraderie that developed quickly within the group is one of the reasons esports is so powerful. These are different students than the athletes or musicians.

Students helped with the unboxing and assembly of the new printer. Next, we initialized and put it through the first time calibrations and test print in a single color. Now we are training on how to load and unload PLA correctly to the printer heads.\r\n\r\nWe have a campus wide Print Authorization process to help ensure best practices and optimal uses of this new resource. Our campus robotics team gets first dibs on prints. From there each student must complete a 3D self portrait to print in duplicate. They keep one copy and the other joins our school community display.\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, this is the project that just keeps giving, creatIng, and rewarding the engineering spirit.","fullyFundedDate":1746471017360,"projectUrl":"project/higher-engineering-success-fewer-headac/9279703/","projectTitle":"Higher Engineering Success, Fewer Headaches w/Bambu 3D Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. H","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ptaand"},{"teacherId":6876266,"projectId":9200697,"letterContent":"Our color printer has been a game changer for displaying our computer based projects and art work. The difference between this printer and others is the eco tank refill system, which is both environmentally friendly and more economical for us. We have already printed ads for our school wide survey and seen a higher response rate than previously.\r\n\r\nNext up for us is our STEAM fair where student Python programmed art work will be on display. The difference between color prints and black and white for this goes without saying. We can't wait for our audience to check out our work.\r\n\r\nThanks so much for being a part of our journey this year.","fullyFundedDate":1742920282030,"projectUrl":"project/bring-projects-and-presentations-to-life/9200697/","projectTitle":"Bring Projects and Presentations to Life With Color Prints","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. H","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ptaand"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_133975","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":401,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":35,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":22,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":39,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":82.2,"schoolId":133975,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ptaa N.
