Our Impact

This page will grow into a running record of what we’ve actually funded—grouped by school year—and the projects those materials unlocked for students.

2024–2025 (Current Year)

• We’re actively organizing this year’s funded supplies and student projects and will summarize them here.

Previous Years

• We’ll backfill past projects as we write them up: what we purchased, which classes used it, and what students built.

Past Projects (Snapshot)

Here are some examples of the kinds of work your support has already made possible:

• Motors and magnets: Life-size student-built “Go-Fish” game modeled after the toddler magnetic toy, scaled up with working motors and custom catches.
• Paint and color: Classroom-safe paints so students can personalize and decorate their finished creations.
• Elastic tubing: Components for a student-made giant slingshot project exploring tension, energy storage, and launch mechanics.
• 3-phase motor controller: For student-engineered axial-flux motor builds testing torque, coil balance, and power delivery.
• Prusa MK4S 3D printer: High-reliability printer supporting rapid prototyping and iterative design in engineering classes.
• PLA filament: Ongoing stock for student prototypes and replacement parts across multiple engineering projects.
• Wood and screws: Used for a three-person table maze that teaches cooperation, precision, and spatial reasoning.
• Toothpicks, hot glue, and eggs: Supplies for the annual Physics Egg Drop challenge—students design and test impact-resistant structures using simple materials and real eggs.
• Fabric and flexible materials: Used in a student-designed “fidget glove” exploring tactile design and wearable engineering.
