  My Students and I thank you for this exceptional donation. I am looking forward to using all of these materials with my students and know that they will enjoy the projects that we will create with them. It makes me happy to know that with this project my students will be able to create handmaid gifts that they will be able to give to their friends and families.”

• Imagination With Legos

  Funded Aug 19, 2021

  Students love to create with Legos and now we have a lot of Lego options. This project offers both the ability to free build and structured kits. My students have loved being assigned Legos to build with and let their imagination take off. Right now it is very important to let the students have time to be unplugged from digital devices and create with their hands and imaginations. Hopefully, in the future, when Covid restrictions relax my students will be able to build projects together thereby creating class bonding and fostering friendship.”

• Makerspace at Manchester

  Funded Jun 19, 2021

  To start off, I teach the whole school. The school and I were looking for a way to offer students a way to "unplug" from devices and enjoy working with their hands. We decided to create a Makerspace at out school and ran into a wall. Funding for the project was low and starting up a Makerspace is not easy to do with the money we had. Luckily Donors and Donors Choose stepped in to help make ours dreams a reality. Now if a student is feeling overwhelmed at recess or needs to take a break from all the digital input we have a fun friendly environment for them to create with there hands and play.”

  I am so excited to get this project funded. I have been keeping it a surprise from my students and can not wait to see their faces when I show these to them. These robots can be coded in multiple ways making it incredibly versatile for the range of needs my students have.”

• LEGO Robotics for a Deserving School!

  Funded Jan 3, 2020

  The students are loving this donation. My students are enjoying the building and programming of the robots. Working in small groups they are able to work on collaboration. This is huge at this school where students routinely disagree with each other. I am really pleased to watch the students work together to find the correct pieces, put them together, and help each other write the code (directions) to make the project work.

  I truly got a kick out of watching the excited looks the students gave me when I pulled out the robot sets. Since I teach multiple classroom, both regular and special ed, I am able to reach a larger selection of students. This means I was able to witness the joy 6 times. It never got old the kids have never been more quiet and willing to receive instructions. No one said they did not want to be in a group. It ran so smooth in a few of my classes I was tempted to pinch myself.

  This project was very engaging to the children. We have only started with our exploration. Next we are going to teach one of the models. The students will build robots with a trailer and then test to see which wheels/surface allows for the most blocks to be transported. I can not wait to hear their guesses and see the outcomes. This really brings science and math as a concrete skill, with Legos. :)”
