Control Freak!
Funded Nov 20, 2021I'd like to thank you for your generous donation on behalf of my students, the STEM program, and I.S.34 as a whole. Throughout our STEM curriculum, students learn the importance of design, accuracy, and precision. They must work together to create solutions to various engineering problems using their STEM skills. As pioneers of technology, they frequently need to use computers, mice, and controllers in order to complete various class projects. This choice not only allows them to build their design skills, but also opens the door to their creativity. As with most things, they tend to experience the most wear and tear since they are relatively small and fragile.
Your donation not only helped my students get new supplies, but it was the reason I started the project in the first place. We were able to purchase brand new gaming controllers for my classroom!
Your donations and support are what keeps the STEM classroom up and running.”

Funded Jun 25, 2021I cannot express how thankful myself and my students are. Your donations, big and small, have given us two new laser engravers. This technology helps students develop skills in graphic design, environmental design, and engineering. This tool challenges students to reimagine once discarded objects and see the beauty in recycling and green engineering.
The students are extremely excited to see these new tools in action! As soon as COVID-19 restrictions allow us, we will begin creating vector images and engraving key chains for the Snack-Shack to sell! ”

Funded Feb 23, 2021I cannot express how thankful myself and my students are. Your donations, big and small, have given us new 3D printers and the supplies to fix our existing ones. This technology helps students develop skills in spatial reasoning, designing, and engineering. This tool challenges students to recreate dimensional, accurate 3D models with the use of calipers and geometric skills.
The students cannot wait to complete their first print and orthographic design project. The first time the students saw the new printer they collectively cheered for five minutes straight!”

Decorate to Educate
Funded Nov 28, 2020Words cannot express how thankful myself and my students are. Your donations, big and small, have given us access to brand new Nano Leaf Panels!
The students cannot wait to use the new equipment! They caught a glimpse of the design and love the way the panels can react to sound! We are working tirelessly to program and organize all of them so the students can have access ASAP! The students and I cannot wait to eventually get back into the building and get back to a "normal" STEM year so we can integrate this new project!
Your donations and support are what keeps the STEM classroom up and running.”

Mouse Trap!
Funded Jan 22, 2020I'd like to thank you for your generous donation on behalf of my students, the STEM program, and I.S.34 as a whole. Throughout our STEM curriculum, students learn the importance of design, accuracy, and precision. They must work together to create solutions to various engineering problems using their STEM skills. As pioneers of technology, they frequently need to use computers and mice in order to complete various class projects. This choice not only allows them to build their design skills, but also opens the door to their creativity. From simple research and coding to intricate 3D modeling, mice are a staple of the STEM room. As with most things, they tend to experience the most wear and tear since they are relatively small and fragile. Over the past few years the mouse population was dwindling with students using old and outdated technology.
Your donation not only helped my students get new supplies, but it was the reason I started the project in the first place. We were able to purchase 40 brand new gaming mice for my classroom! Our old ones will be recycled and shared with the other STEM classroom, so there will be little to no E-Waste in the environment.
The students cannot wait to use the new equipment! They caught a glimpse of the design and love that it is smaller and more colorful! We are working tirelessly to program and organize all of them so the students can have access ASAP!
Your donations and support are what keeps the STEM classroom up and running.”

Funded Dec 3, 2019Thank you for all of your remarkable support! Your wonderful donations make it possible for students to truly embrace their creative designs. The students cannot wait to get their hands on these supplies and begin making all their ideas a reality.
Up until this point, students have been struggling to find ways to complete their projects without the use of wood clamps. These clamps will not only keep their projects sturdy but will also secure their supplies to their work station. This will create a saver environment for all students and staff using this lab!
Words cannot express how truly thankful I am to each and every one of you.”

This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 34 other donors.Stock the STEM Lab!
Funded Sep 23, 2019Thank you for all your support and donations! Your gifts have allowed us to gather the daily supplies for our classes. These resources are used by all of our students on a daily basis. Most recently, the sixth grade students utilized the measuring tapes, wooden dowels, and spools in their balloon rocket/car activities. These activities challenge students to use circumferences in their study of friction. The circumference is directly related to the power of their project. They have been able to determine they need larger circumferences to successfully counteract the frictional forces.
We could have never done it without all your support.”
