This project has opened so many opportunities for my students. They are creating and designing new projects that we have never tried before. Students have started with magnets, and are moving into custom wood boxes this week. We tried out metal too. It is a learning project but we are enjoying trying new things. I am excited to see what my students are able to do once we understand how to use all the different materials. Thank you for donating to this project and allowing us to create, design, and fail. When we fail we try again and try new ways.”

My students have loved being able to grab a kit and make them throughout the year this year. We have a spring showcase, but after that three of the creations will be headed home to be hung up. I am so proud of how they turned out.
We are about to start our 2nd semester woodworking unit and these kits, along with some birdhouse kits we have from school, students will have a lot of choice, and all students will have the opportunity to create a build a wooden project. Thank you for providing these opportunities to my students. I am grateful for each and every gift we receive.”

I am so very excited that this project is coming to life. During our next Fab Lab I am giving a lesson on the laser cutter and I am anticipating students will really be excited to try new designs and new projects. Thank you for making sure this project is funded and that my students have these opportunities!”
I am so excited to have these materials available for my students. They’ve been discussing this project and waiting patiently. A few students have already built their guitars but are just waiting on these parts. I so appreciate your generosity and love for my classroom and learning! We are blessed.”

This is funded at just the right time. We are starting a new semester and my students are eager to learn, design, create and build! I can’t wait to get these supplies and work with my students. Thank you for making sure we have everything we need. We are blessed by you.”
This project has unlocked so many opportunities. My current 5th grade students are creating marble runs using the cardboard tubes and scissors. My 8th grade students will soon use the cardboard sheets for their Famous Cardboard designs and they always turn out great. Their creativity really shines in this project. Thank you for helping us stay organized with the extra bins and extra materials. STEM is one of their highlights and they continue to impress me with their great ideas and hard work. The best part is that this project will continue to meet the needs of students over many quarters.”

Thank you so much for investing in my STEM students. The materials you donated to are some of the most used items in my classroom each day. My fifth grade students are always using whatever materials I have on hand to create the coolest inventions.
My eighth grade students used the duct tape to create cardboard creations. It was great how different each design was.
On top of that the STEM books are perfect for my STEM classroom and provide relevant reading my my students.
Thank you for caring so much about my classroom and my students.”
