We are very excited about our Masterminds After School Program!
The program is being sponsored through the generosity of WQED and the PBS
Ready to Learn Grant! It was developed as an opportunity for students and their families to participate in a variety of STEAM activities and projects. These activities enhance critical thinking, cooperative learning and promote technology
and digital media through a home-school partnership. In this smaller group environment, students have more accessibility to the resources and hands-on opportunities for exploration and reflection. The participants have been using
various components that promote Project Based Learning and the Engineering
Design Process. The experiences focus on PBS Math IQ lessons, Ruff Ruffman
STEAM concepts, Scratch Jr. and various Technology challenges. The primary goal
is to extend learning opportunities to include 21st century skills through a real
world approach. Our desire is to make McAnnulty a “Smart School” by
incorporating the PBS motto of “Eat, Make, Share and Explore” to build stronger
home-school partnerships between our students and families. Visit our program
pages to see the smiles and fun that was enjoyed by all the participants.
