This summer exploration will help prepare us to fully integrate it as a hands-on learning tool for students when the new school year begins in the fall. Students will use the telescope to observe planets, the Moon, and stars while practicing inquiry-based science, data collection, and critical thinking. More than equipment, this telescope is a gateway to curiosity, discovery, and future STEM opportunities.","fullyFundedDate":1778062009844,"projectUrl":"project/help-us-reach-for-the-stars/10005996/","projectTitle":"Help Us Reach for the Stars","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Graven","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp399207_orig.jpg?crop=511,511,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1558985088960","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dotsciguy"},{"teacherId":399207,"projectId":9971504,"letterContent":"Thank you for supporting our classroom!
