• Binding Machines for Future Engineers

  Funded Dec 7, 2024

  On behalf of my students, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of the binding machines. Your contribution has made a significant impact on their ability to stay organized and showcase their work.

  Students are now able to bind their notes, programs, and sketches, creating neatly organized portfolios that reflect their hard work and creativity. This simple yet invaluable tool has greatly enhanced their ability to keep track of their progress and present their projects in a professional manner.

  Your support helps make a real difference in their academic journey, and we are incredibly appreciative of your generosity. Thank you once again for helping us create a more organized and focused learning environment.

  Warm regards,”

• AP Computer Science Students Need Books

  Funded Nov 2, 2024

  I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generosity in helping us acquire copies of Everything You Need to Ace Computer Science and Coding. These books have already made a profound impact in my classroom, providing students with an accessible and engaging resource to navigate the fascinating world of computer science and coding.

  This book introduces essential computer science concepts and skills in a way that is easy for students to grasp and apply. Lessons cover foundational topics such as algorithms, data structures, and programming languages while integrating practical problem-solving techniques. The combination of visual aids, real-life examples, and step-by-step explanations makes it an invaluable resource for my students as they prepare for the AP Computer Science Principles exam.

  In our classroom, reading these texts involves a blend of individual exploration and collaborative learning. Students dive into specific chapters during independent study time, where they annotate key points and work through the practice exercises provided in the book. We follow up with group discussions and hands-on coding projects that allow students to apply the concepts they've learned in creative and meaningful ways. The book's approachable tone has been instrumental in breaking down complex topics, making computer science feel attainable for students of all experience levels.

  One particular student, has been especially enthusiastic about this resource. This student initially struggled with the abstract nature of computer science, often feeling overwhelmed by the jargon and technical details. However, this book's straightforward explanations and relatable examples have boosted her confidence. Recently, she shared that she no longer feels intimidated by the subject and has even begun assisting her peers during our coding exercises. It's inspiring to see how this book has sparked her curiosity and determination.

  Your support has not only enriched our classroom but has also empowered students to discover their potential and grow their passion for computer science. Thank you for making this possible. Your kindness is shaping futures and fueling aspirations, one page at a time.

  Warm regards,”

• Classroom Supplies for Engineers

  Funded Dec 6, 2022

  Thank you so much for your thoughtful donations to my classrooms. Through your generosity, you have allowed my students to take notes and write their thoughts/ideas and accomplishments down in a engineering notebook. Students in my class were creating a robot that could climb the highest slope. With their newly earned notebooks students were able to take notes in the process, plan and develop their designs. With your support we were able to provide students with tools necessary in becoming great engineers. The supplies that we received through your donations has allowed my students to understand the importance of keeping good notes and drawings of their robots.

  My students were excited and loved the supplies that they received and got straight to work. They have already started to plan and design their next project.

  This project was the start of the students taking detailed notes and creating detailed drawings. Our next project is to create a robot that will use sensors. Students learn best when they take part in the creation process.

  Thank you on behalf of my students.”
