  • Swerve Into Experiential Engineering Learning in FRC Team Sports

    Funded Feb 5, 2025

    Thanks to your contribution, our team has been able to work on, experiment, dissect, and learn from the swerve modules that you made available to our team. These modules allowed our team to get ready for competition and be a viable opponent for this year's FRC competition. Students have repaired and implemented swerve drives into two distinct robots. This allowed us to get our robot up and running faster than previous years and get more hours of practice in that previously possible. Now students are working on iteratively improving the design of their robot and working towards winning FRC!”

  • Mole Day, Make a Mole!

    Funded Jan 23, 2025

    Thanks to your contribution, this meaningful class activity that would normally be extra credit, optional, and unexperienced by students, was available to every student in a truly equitable manner. Students were able to create an artifact to take with them and ensure they engaged and engrained the importance of the Mole. Your contribution ensures that hundreds of students will be able to experience this activity for years to come. Often times, supplies have to be split and shared into groups, but allowing individuals to personalize and make their own product was an enduring and new experience for all of us.”

  • More Than Just Normal Hygeine

    Funded Feb 7, 2025

    Thank you for your contribution to this project. Your donation has gone towards providing students with unique products and consumables that are not normally available at school. Students have been enthusiastically organizing, promoting, and distributing these supplies. When the first set of students went to the supply corner and saw the new stuff, they were confused and unsure if they were allowed to use any of it. When they heard of your generosity and the available goods, they said we were the "real" ones which I assume is good.”

  • 1 More Esports Laptop to Rule Them All

    Funded Nov 25, 2024

    thank you for supporting our esports program. Due to your contribution, we were able to get, try, and determine that these portable devices are sufficient for our esports titles. This has enabled us to make future orders to outfit our limited space with portable devices that will let more students engage, interact, and excel at this important extracurricular activity. Your donation ensures that even more students can engage with esports and work towards fostering discipline, skills, and confidence as they go through these seminal years. Additionally, this laptop was essential to allow one student, that could not come in, to sign it out to be able to compete from home. This secured the team's position to the finals! That could not have happened without this project.”

  • Mechanical Stages for Microscopes

    Funded Dec 22, 2024

    thank you for your contribution to this project. Because of your donation, we were able to receive and implement tools necessary for greater microscopy and real world lab techniques that students will carry with them to their future careers. We installed some mechanical stages on our microscopes and that enabled students to adjust, search, and more readily engage with the microscopy activities we did in class. There was a clear preference for microscopes with mechanical stages over those with stage clips. Your contribution enabled students to search for chloroplasts, scan for the stages of mitosis, and explore their prepared slides with the stains we alternatively purchased. Although we could not receieve all the stages we needed, getting other microscopy supplies embodied the spirit of enabling students with more relevant microscopy techniques than previously available.”

  • Earth Day Dedicated Planting for Mother Earth

    Funded Apr 22, 2024

    Thank you for your contribution to this earth day project. This project has given use much needed equipment that enables us to further expand our curriculum and this year event's impact. The seeds and equipment you've provided ensures that our students get a wide breadth and depth of experiences in botany and stewardship to our planet. These plants were instrumental in increasing the rigor of their studies and providing them with tangible things to take home with them and take their learning with them beyond the walls of the school.”

  • Mental Health Variety Options

    Funded Sep 22, 2024

    thank you for contributing to this very unique mental health initiative. It takes all kinds and provides for all kinds. The mass variety in options and availability of these supplies have already provided students with positive mental trajectories. Students are developing skills to improve their mental health and learning different mechanisms to support and advocate for themselves. The supplies are opening available and allow students to practice autonomy and take ownership of their own mental health and advocate for themselves.”

  • Needed Supplies for College Level Biology

    Funded May 10, 2024

    your donation has enabled our classes to be able to experience one of the most memorable and monumental activities in highschool. These dissecting supplies allowed students to dissect things at the same time as other class periods allowing simultaneous sections of dissecting like never before. Thanks to your contribution, we ensured that all students received an equitable experience with parity across the entire grade level. These tools will continue to be used by our over than 4000 student large student body and the impact will continue for years to come.”
