Because of your generosity, our students now have access to a brand new Bambu Studio 3D printer and filament, and it has already made a meaningful impact on their learning and creativity!\r\n\r\nMany of our students do not have access to this type of advanced technology at home, so this project has given them an exciting opportunity to work with tools they may not otherwise experience. Students are excited to start learning and turning their ideas into real, physical objects. Seeing their designs come to life has increased their engagement and excitement for learning in a powerful way.\r\n\r\nOne of the most exciting early outcomes is how students have used the printer to support our school community. Our morning show news anchors display custom-designed 3D printed name plates, created using the Bambu Studio printer.\r\nHaving a reliable, up-to-date printer has been essential. The Bambu Studio printer allows students to focus on learning and designing without the frustration of equipment malfunctions. Through hands-on projects, students are developing STEM-based skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and perseverance—all while meeting everyday academic standards.\r\nYour support has helped open doors to new learning opportunities and has inspired students to think creatively about technology and design. This project has truly enhanced our classroom and school environment, and it would not have been possible without you.\r\nThank you for believing in our students and investing in their future.","fullyFundedDate":1758589159043,"projectUrl":"project/building-stem-skills-layer-by-layer-with/9707014/","projectTitle":"Building STEM Skills Layer by Layer with a 3D Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Groover","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4939108_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1509305841642","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/msgroover2"},{"teacherId":7485993,"projectId":8541378,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our DonorsChoose project! Thanks to you, our classroom now has much-needed storage bins and a wonderful collection of indoor recess games—and the impact has been immediate and joyful.\r\nWhen my second graders first saw the new games, their faces lit up with excitement. One student shouted, \"This is the best day ever!\" The bins helped us organize everything beautifully, making it easy for students to access materials and take responsibility for cleanup. It's been a great way to build independence and teamwork.\r\nWe've already had some memorable moments. During a rainy week, we used the new games for indoor recess, and I watched students collaborate, problem-solve, and laugh together. One group created their own tournament bracket for a matching game, while others built imaginative stories using a storytelling dice set. These resources have turned recess into a time for creativity, connection, and social-emotional growth.\r\nLooking ahead, we're using the bins to organize math centers and science kits, which helps us transition smoothly between activities. The games will continue to support our classroom community, giving students a chance to recharge and build friendships.\r\nYour support has made our classroom more joyful, organized, and engaging.
