While many of us use tablets for scrolling through news or watching videos at home, in our classroom, these devices have been transformed into powerful scientific instruments.\r\n\r\nIn the past, our students were often tethered to bulky Chromebooks. With these tablets, the learning has become mobile and interactive.\r\n\r\nStudents used the tablets as the \"brains\" of custom-built microscopes they engineered themselves. By loading their own custom machine learning models onto the tablets, they moved beyond just looking at slides—they began teaching the technology how to identify specific plant diseases. This process forced them to think like both biologists and data scientists, refining their designs in real-time as they tested samples.\r\n\r\nThe \"cool factor\" here cannot be overstated. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when a student:\r\n\r\nBuilds a physical microscope.\r\n\r\nViews a microscopic sample on a high-definition screen.\r\n\r\nWatches their own AI model analyze that sample to provide a diagnosis.\r\n\r\nThe most exciting part for them was the instant feedback. Instead of waiting days for results or a grade, the tablets allowed them to see immediately if their model was accurate, prompting them to troubleshoot and improve their work on the spot.","fullyFundedDate":1767992966935,"projectUrl":"project/ai-enabled-microscopy/9987269/","projectTitle":"AI Enabled Microscopy","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Kniesly","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7640997"},{"teacherId":8958649,"projectId":9095090,"letterContent":"I sincerely thank you for investing in this project. Yes, \"investing\". Pouring into literature, means contributing to thoughtful conversations with people on public transportation, musical, and cultural events.\r\n\r\n\r\nI am excited to introduce this text to my students in a format that is high interest and accessible for most learners. They have the opportunity to analyze visual, stylistic, and literary elements all from one text!\r\n\r\nAs we approach a new school year, I sincerely thank you for your contribution to literacy.

The headphones allow students to not feel \"singled out\" when needing to access their accommodations within the classroom. This has not only enhanced their learning experience but has also helped them grow in confidence. The skills they are accessing range from literacy fluency, comprehension, as well as media analysis.

Now when students see cardboard boxes arrive in class, we have a few kids who say, \"books?\" waiting to see what we unbox. \r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your contributions.

When the students more easily identify poetic and literary devices, they more confidently transition into examining and analyzing why the author chose these devices. \r\nAdditionally, there was a sense of pride and excitement that overcame the class, knowing that strangers believed in them enough to provide them new and nice materials for their class work. This addition to our classroom reached over 100 students.
