Because of your contribution, our students are now able to collect real-world environmental data both inside and outside of the classroom. This technology allows them to move beyond textbooks and actively investigate air quality, weather conditions, and environmental changes in their own community. Experiences like these make science meaningful, relevant, and exciting, helping students see how what they learn applies to the world around them. \r\n\r\nThe PocketLab sensors have had an immediate impact on student engagement. When students are able to use real scientific tools to gather and analyze their own data, they become more curious, motivated, and invested in their learning. These hands-on investigations reinforce important environmental science concepts while also strengthening critical thinking, problem solving, and data analysis skills. Students are not only learning the content, they are also learning how scientists think and work. \r\n\r\nYour support is also helping inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. By giving students access to modern technology and authentic scientific experiences, you are increasing their interest in careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Many students who may not have previously considered STEM fields are now excited about the possibilities. Thank you for making a lasting difference in our classroom and for helping our students explore, discover, and grow. Your generosity truly has a lasting impact.","fullyFundedDate":1764606871732,"projectUrl":"project/empowering-eco-minded-students-with-real/9904237/","projectTitle":"Empowering Eco-Minded Students With Real Data","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sprague","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10353759"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_10301","uses�ǿմ�ý":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":989,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":35,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":87.5,"schoolId":10301,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Austin High School on @�ǿմ�ý:","schoolName":"Austin High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/alabama/decatur-city-school-district/austin-high-school/10301"}
