3D Filament for Girls in STEM
Funded Apr 1, 2025Thank you for your generous support! We will be printing and creating 3d models to learn and test out engineering principles that they could only read about before. Your donation would be used to inspire young ladies of the next generation to enter fields that have been male dominated until now.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community and 3 other donors.Precise and Accurate!
Funded Dec 22, 2023Thank you for your donation to our class. The pipet bulbs that your donations have provided our class have allowed our students to reach another level of Chemistry. The students are able to use pipet bulbs that are accurate to the hundredth of a millimeter.
Using these precise measurement tools gives students the practice they will be prepared for questions they will see on their AP test about developing and executing lab experiments with the best lab equipment and procedure. Using these lab equipment students would also be better prepared for college and professional laboratories.
These learning opportunities are invaluable and your donation would serve several students for many years to come.”

Clean Rooms for All
Funded Sep 21, 2023Your donations have made a difference. In a period by period vote, your gift was named "lil Bro" and he has been at work. Lil Bro has been working diligently running 2-4 days a week and has done a great job of cleaning the classroom. I run Lil Bro at the end of the day, because when I run it in the morning some students get distracted with him moving around. I get to class and after I settle in I empty Lil bros bin and pull out the hair that got caught up.
Having a clean classroom allows our students to focus on learning. Not having to worry about dirty floors the students can feel comfortable to work on labs, collaborative work and create projects with ease.”

Funded May 8, 2023Thank you for your donation of filament material and tools our students are using to learn and build. With those materials student do not have worry if they can afford to build and learn.
Our students are not just building but also sharing their new found knowledge with the community. In May students show cased games they created with the 3D printer at the first ParrotFest, community school fair while 3D printing. The table was visited by all kinds of members from grandparents to elementary students asking all kinds of questions from what the students were printing to what are the limitations of the machine.
Through you contributions our students shared their experiences and knowledge of 3D printing. Thanks to your contributions students have access to a technology they have only seen on tv or movies.”

Funded Nov 4, 2022With your generous donations my students have been able to print using our 3D printer. Your donation provides the filament or what is comparable to the ink to make their creations. Due to your donation students are free to experiment the limits of what they can create without worrying if they can afford the plastic. Students have been learning how to make 3d files, look up 3d files that have already been created, how to program instructions for the printer using slicer software and how to operate our 3D. So far we have printed vases, a whole body model, keystone structure, earrings and much more.”

3D Printing Filament
Funded Aug 30, 2022Your donation has sparked excitement and the imagination of my students. Due to your donations, my students are able to print various 3D models from the internet. In printing out earrings, vases with geometric designs, Pokémon and biological model students are gaining hands on experience with software turning STL files to gcode (instructions for 3Dprinter), changing filament, and limitations of the 3D printer. Students have been learning about the various aspects of engineering, supports for designs that printed in air and have been able to print some of their own models. Our 3D printing club was able to print out "Poly 3D Printing" and custom football key chains for some of our seniors.
As students have been showing off some things they have printed it has sparked more and more students to join the 3D printing club. At the beginning of the year our first meeting had 6 participants and now we are up to 42 students with more coming every week. Once again thanks to your donation students can now learn and explore creating 3D models.”

Funded Aug 26, 2019Thank you for donations. The students really appreciate being able to use the spectrophotometers. The first time we used them in class was in a spectral line analysis. They were observing the unique wave lengths of light given off my lamps containing different gases. Students where excited to get the exact wave lengths and relative intensities of each gas. Using the spectrophotometers they were able to get more precise data, able to determine unknowns and even calculate the difference in energy that the excited electrons gave off in form of the light.
It was great seeing the students interpret the data and make connections to the Bohr models we learned about that week. The next lab inquiry projects in which we will be using the spectrophotometers will be in measure the concentration of dye in popular drinks, the concentration of copper in brass and studying kinetics of the crystal violet reaction. My students are excited to learn new lab techniques and we are grateful for making it possible.”
