Drills and Drivers
Funded Nov 2, 2024I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your generous support of our recent project, which has had a significant impact on our classroom and my students' learning experiences. Your contribution has allowed us to access new resources that are truly making a difference.
Since the arrival of the materials, my students and I have been actively utilizing them in various ways. One standout project was our recent STEM challenge, where students designed and build catapults . It was joyful to witness their creative spirit and teamwork as they collaborated on this hands-on project. Each group approached the challenge with unique ideas, using principles of engineering and physics they had learned in class. The moment they successfully tested their catapults for accuracy and distance and saw them hold weight was an unforgettable celebration of their hard work and ingenuity!
After this project, we plan to apply our engineering principles to a larger-scale community project, where we will brainstorm and design a sustainable solution to a local issue, integrating their STEM skills with real-world applications.
We are truly grateful for your contribution, which has brought a new level of learning and enthusiasm into our classroom. I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress and sharing the next steps of our students' journey. Thank you once again for believing in our mission and for helping to inspire the next generation of thinkers and creators.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Dunne
