🎉 Congratulations to our education team!!
Non Profit Executive Closing Opportunities Gaps in STEM Education, thru Strategic Partnerships & Change Management
📢 Major milestone for our Junior Academy Program! Our program has earned accreditation through NYCPS' Civics for All program! Tl:dr Students can now receive credit towards their social studies graduation requirements by completing our program. Civics have become a core part of students' research projects. I'd argue that almost all of our research projects are in service of civic engagement. 🚀 Students aren't just "the future" of STEM, they're making an impact right now! 🚀 The Seal of Civic Engagement/Civics for All is such an exciting pilot for NYS. It's exciting to see independent projects and PBL endorsed and encouraged across NYC and we look forward to working with all the pilot schools this coming year! 🎇 Congrats to Kaitlin Green for putting together a compelling application!
