Growing "Girls with Gadgets"!

Funded Mar 8, 2015

To say that my students in "Girls with Gadgets" were excited about our new materials would be an understatement. They were thrilled! Every day, I would see students in the hall and they would ask me whether or not our new materials have arrived and when would they get to work with them.

Each week, the girls have been planning, building, and creating extraordinary models of homes, stores, studios, and more with the Roominate building materials we were able to purchase through Donors Choose. We were fortunate to add these new materials to our existing collection.

This project has given our recess group an added "spark". We just recently displayed finished projects for the remainder of the school year so that we can gain student interest for next year's group and to show off the girls' hard work!

Without support from a program like Donors Choose, our girls would have limited experience using hands-on materials like Roominate. Now, our female STEAM students will be able to use these materials for years to come. Thank you again for your generosity and kindness toward our project.”
