Funded Jan 7, 2025Thank you very much for the donations so that I could acquire some more books and materials for my computer science classroom and students. These books and materials have been wonderful for engaging my students with new projects and activities. I'm always looking for new resources and fun projects to do with my computer science students and these books have delivered. From new 3d printing projects, to new python programming projects, to new ways to make video games on Scratch, these books have made for excellent resources. Thank you.”

Enhanced Classroom Vibe
Funded Feb 4, 2024Thank you so very much for contributing to my Donors Choose project. The atmosphere of my classroom is so very important and with your donations to me Enhance Classroom Vibe project, my classroom is an awesome place for my students to be, learn, and chill. It's awesome! The extra filament is also so very important. 3D printing is a big part of my curriculum and without PLA filament I would not be able to teach my students how to 3D design and 3D print. All of these materials have helped make my classroom and amazing place to be! Thank you!”

A Mouse Is Worth 1000 Clicks
Funded Feb 2, 2024Thank you so much for the donations so I could purchase brand new computer mice for my technology classroom. In my classroom we do a lot 3D design and using a mouse to do the design instead of a trackpad is significant easier and more efficient. The students are better able to make the designs they want with the mice and get less frustrated because they are easier to use. These mice have made 3D design more accessible to my students and the genuinely have a lot of fun designing and printing out their awesome projects. Thank you!”

3D Scanning for the Future
Funded Jan 29, 2024Thank you very much for your amazingly generous donations to my 3D scanner project! Your contributions have add greatly to the exploratory environment that my classroom strives to be! Currently, with the 3D scanner I have students scanning each other's faces and 3D printing busts of themselves. They are also 3D scanning images of their favorite stuffys and 3D printing those as well. They are all getting a big kick of seeing their stuffys and faces in 3D and watching them being printed on the 3D printers. Thank you so much for making this happen!”

Headphones for a Calm and Quiet Classroom
Funded Nov 2, 2023Thank you Nevada for the $500 to get my classroom 40 brand new headphones! Having a complete set of not-broken headphones has been amazing. It's nice to have the tools I need to run my classroom properly and the in the way that I want. It is also nice that students have a tool that can help them focus on what is in front of them and not be distracted by outside noises. Wish I could raise the $15k to get 40 brand new Chromebooks as well, but $15k is a lot of money. I have faith that I'll be able to do it though! Thank you!”

Funded Aug 16, 2023Thank you all so much for the support of Pinecrest Academy of Inspirada's tech classroom. Having the proper tools to be able to teach from is of the utmost importance. The 3D printers and supplies have aloud for me to be able to teach about something that I enjoy doing and sharing my knowledge in.
Eventually, my plan is to make 3D printing a unit of learning for 4th through the middle school grades. I believe that have shop type classes is important for students, especially those at the middle school level. Students will be able learning how to construct 3D models and the in's and out's of working with and maintaining a 3D printer.
Thank you so much for making this possible! Also, so other news for the tech Specials class at Pinecrest, I am trying to raise the money to acquire 40 brand new Chromebooks for it. This devices would allow for our students to have a top notch computer to learn from.
If you are interested in donating to that project please take a look at my project page.
Thank you so much!”

Funded Dec 1, 2021Thank you so much the Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards. As a new teacher to computer science, I am still loading my teaching arsenal, and these gift cards have allowed for me to do that quickly. These gift cards have made finding diverse and challenging content for my computer science classroom quick and easy. These gift cards have also made it simpler for me to find computer science content that a substitute can easily figure out and implement in my classroom. My students and I love the accessibility to great Google Slide shows and interactive content on TpT. There is really some wonderful stuff out there and I'm glad I have funds to pay for it. Thank you so much for your generosity!”

Funded Nov 12, 2021Thank you so much for the Lakeshore Learning Problem Solving Kits and the Learn to Code File games. They have have both been a bit hit with my students. Having these kits and games available for my students to use has been an amazing supplement to the computer science course at my school. The kits and games have opened my students' eyes and minds about what the problem solving process is all about, and has allowed for them to collaborate in groups to solve the problems the kits and games propose to them. Because of this collaboration, my students have created a greater level of awareness of not only their problem solving and coding abilities, but have also become more aware of their fellow classmates abilities as well. I am so grateful that I now have these kits and games on hand. Thank you so much for the awesome support!”
