• Code & Light Up the Future: Exploring Circuits with LEDs

  Funded Jan 27, 2025

  Thank you for supporting our interactive circuits project! With the materials you’ve provided, my students will combine coding and electronics to create circuits that light up and respond to their designs. This hands-on experience fosters creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork, helping them build confidence and essential skills for the future.”

• Basic Supplies to Support Our Return to the Classroom

  Funded Aug 28, 2021

  Thank you, the students and I appreciate your help in providing basic classroom supplies. It is so much easier to be creative when you are surrounded by colorful paper and drawing supplies.

  The students were truly excited to open up and use the brand new markers and pencils. It is lovely to share but amazing to be the first to use the supplies and there were enough supplies that each class was able to open something and experience that joy.

  We will be creating origami designs and designing prototypes of mechanical paper projects the design possibilities are endless.”

• Cozy Creative Coding Classroom

  Funded Dec 21, 2022

  Thank you so much for your support. This will make for a wonderful start to the new year. The students can't wait to sit in their new chairs and have mice that are untethered. The new pencil sharpener will go a long way in reducing the scattered shavings from our little plastic ones. Neat, organized and comfortable nothing will stop us now as we create and code our dreams.”

• Electronics, Paper Circuits & Coding Oh My!

  Funded Jun 12, 2021

  Thank you all so much for supporting my learning so I could in turn teach my students. It is amazing to be able to keep learning new things and to bring those skills into the classroom. Together the students and I will be able to design and code circuits thanks to all of you.

  Not only was I able to learn, I was also able to get a few supplies that will help me build working models to share in the classroom and inspire the students.

  Using LEDs and a servo motor I was able to design a shadow box, that I am sure the students will improve upon as they Iterate and redesign to create their own. I look forward to their creations.”

• Designing Circuits & Coding

  Funded Oct 17, 2022

  I cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity. My students are going to be so excited. They love coding on the computer screens but this will take it to the next level and they can code and design physical creations. Thanks again I can't wait for the resource to arrive and to see what the students design.”

• Bringing Code to Life - Back to Hands-on Design

  Funded Jul 30, 2021

  Actually, it's "Dear family" because all of you are family. This project was funded by Aunt Patty, Aunt Eileen, cousin Kristen, and myself. Of course, it was also matching donations from

  @InfyFoundation who also provided training for the 4th summer in a row. I am very thankful for the support. I want to make this year special for my students, and your help is laying the foundation that will make it happen.”

• Embracing Robotics to Create Tomorrows Innovators

  Funded Jun 6, 2020

  Robots are cool! There is just no denying it. Learning ways to use robots with my students was wonderful, additionally learning how to program virtual robots was an unexpected but necessary twist. Having knowledge of a virtual robotics program I could share with my class for virtual learning was exciting for my students and having hands-on robots to pair that virtual learning with, well that was priceless in this most unusual year. I am so grateful for the support I have received and for the knowledge I can share with all my future classes.”

• Digital Classroom Dual Monitor Setup

  Funded Feb 15, 2021

  The addition of a second monitor has enabled me to spend more time focused on my remote learners. Having a second screen to dedicate to the live stream interaction allows me to quickly respond to students' verbal inquiries and the questions they post in the chat. It also decreases internet lag since I no longer have to sign on with multiple devices to see, hear, share and chat with my students and co-teachers. The second screen also allows me to have what I need to share with the students' set-up and ready to share with just the click of the mouse. It also doesn't hurt that it looks cool. It is the trifecta, it uses less internet bandwidth, allows more responsive interaction with the class and it looks cool. Thank you for making me look cool and perform more efficiently.”

• Inputting with Keyboards to Improve Communication

  Funded Nov 28, 2020

  These Bluetooth keyboards have made such a difference to my students. Trying to use an iPad had been frustrating and having a virtual keyboard takeover half your screen had made it difficult for many students to focus on what they were doing. Thanks to you the new Bluetooth keyboards now allow students full visual access to their screen and they can actually see the screen and type at the same time. We thank you so much. It has really made a difference in our day-to-day work. Students are excited to learn about keyboard shortcuts and new ways they can control the iPad through their keyboards.”
