What I did not expect was how often students would stop during class just to point at the screens and ask, \"Why did that just change?\" That is when I knew this wasn't just another piece of classroom tech. It had become part of how students think.\r\n\r\nHaving live market data in the room gives students instant context. Instead of talking about the market as something distant or abstract, it becomes something they watch throughout the day. A lesson that used to take days to make sense now clicks much faster when students can see it happening. They start noticing patterns. They make connections. They challenge assumptions. That kind of thinking is hard to teach and easy to recognize when it shows up.\r\n\r\nThe excitement is not loud, but it is consistent. Students walk in already glancing at the numbers. Some check their assigned stocks before they even sit down. Others start quiet conversations about what moved overnight and what might happen next. Without much prompting, the market has become part of our classroom culture.\r\n\r\nThe biggest surprise has been who uses it the most. Students who used to blend into the background now pay attention in a different way. A few who once thought business had nothing to do with them now follow market trends on their own. The screens gave them an entry point that a textbook never could.\r\n\r\nI am grateful to everyone who made this project possible. You did not just donate equipment. You gave my students a daily reason to be curious, observant, and invested in the world around them.","fullyFundedDate":1755521939510,"projectUrl":"project/live-markets-lifelong-lessons/9604612/","projectTitle":"Live Markets, Lifelong Lessons","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Higgins","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3138317"},{"teacherId":6432985,"projectId":9602990,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our Wall Street Classroom project. Because of you, students are no longer just learning about markets in theory. They are seeing real financial data every day as part of class.\r\n\r\nMany of our donors use technology at home, but it works very differently in a classroom when it is used for learning instead of entertainment. The screens allow students to follow real time stock movement, compare companies, and connect current events to what markets are doing. Concepts like supply and demand, market cycles, and volatility make much more sense when students can actually watch them happen instead of only reading about them.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for students is how real everything feels. They are using information that actual investors follow. Since the monitors went up, students regularly come in talking about what they saw on the screens and checking their own stocks for our investing assignment. It has turned into something they pay attention to without being told to.\r\n\r\nSome students who were quieter or less interested at the start of the year have become more engaged. Seeing live data helps visual learners in particular, and several students who never cared much about business now ask questions or try to understand why the market changed overnight.\r\n\r\nYour donation created a classroom tool that students genuinely use every single day.

So far, I have given out over 2000 tickets! Kids love doing the drawings for a treats or prizes and are really looking forward to the mini-fridge drawing at the end of the semester in December.

I have never seen them work so hard and so quickly. Some had their tongue hanging out in deep thought, some put theirs together in 20 minutes, some needed help, and some worked together. They are now sitting on their desks and when they finish their work and have a free moment, they take them in the hall and race them. It has been amazing to see their teamwork and encouragement for each other. \r\n\r\nWe plan to have them disassemble the cars, swap them with a friend, and then reassemble the new car. One of my boys mentioned making a ramp, tunnel, and other obstacles to make racing even more fun. I love that they are thinking like little engineers.

They have also been great for team activities. They constantly ask if they can use the magnet boards to show their work.
