Thirty-nine grants worth more than $20,000 were given to Fargo teachers and schools in the latest round of funding from the Fargo Public Schools Development Foundation.
Some of the projects funded are:
- Specialized Legos that allow gifted students at Washington and McKinley elementary schools to build a programmable robot.
- "Toobaloos," a phone-like device allows first-graders to hear themselves clearly while speaking softly into it. Its use helps new readers improve their reading rates, phrasing and expression.
- Career Day at Fargo South High.
