From soaring over lush rainforests and volcanic landscapes to capturing sweeping views of the coastline and cultural landmarks, drone footage can provide a dynamic, cinematic lens on students' daily experiences. It allows for moments of adventure—like ziplining through the canopy or exploring waterfalls—to be preserved in high quality, giving students a memorable visual record of their trip. Additionally, it supports storytelling and reflection, enabling students to create meaningful multimedia projects when they return home.\r\n\r\nWhile the group is away, drone footage can also serve as a powerful tool to share the experience in real time with families and the wider school community. Short daily video highlights or photo montages captured from the air can be posted to social media or school platforms, offering those at home a glimpse into the environment and activities students are immersed in. These visuals create a sense of connection, engagement, and excitement, helping others feel part of the journey. Whether it's flying over a rainforest village or capturing a group hike along a coastal trail, the drone can transform this educational travel experience into a shared story that reaches far beyond the borders of Costa Rica.","fullyFundedDate":1739455200127,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-exploration-to-life-student-pr/9085484/","projectTitle":"Bringing Exploration to Life: Student-Produced Documentaries with Drone Technology","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":9023429,"letterContent":"The donation of second monitors has had a transformative impact on 7th–12th grade students engaged in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) work. With these additional screens, students can now keep their CAD programs—like Fusion 360 or Tinkercad—open on one monitor while using the second to view technical specifications, research materials, reference images, or video tutorials. This setup eliminates the need to constantly toggle between tabs, reducing distractions and allowing for a more focused and efficient workflow. Students are able to stay immersed in their design process while simultaneously accessing the resources they need to solve problems, learn new techniques, or verify dimensions.\r\n\r\nThanks to this generous donation, students are working more independently and at a higher level of technical precision. The dual-monitor setup mirrors professional engineering and design environments, helping students develop real-world skills and work habits. It has elevated the quality of their work, improved their ability to follow complex build instructions, and boosted their confidence as digital creators. This simple yet powerful upgrade has made a lasting difference in how students engage with technology, design, and critical thinking in the classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1738106686047,"projectUrl":"project/dual-monitors-empowering-student-engine/9023429/","projectTitle":"Dual Monitors: Empowering Student Engineers in Robot Design","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":8932291,"letterContent":"The successful funding of two 27\" LCD monitors through DonorsChoose has significantly enhanced our mobile robotics cart's capabilities.

Students can now simultaneously view programming code and robot performance data, enabling faster debugging and more effective testing cycles.
