Our school serves 3,967 students from diverse backgrounds. The school population is comprised of 23% African American, 21% Hispanic, and 17% special education students. Females account for 58% of the enrolled students. Our school just started a pre-engineering class to expose the minority population to the engineering field. This program will provide our students, especially the underrepresented population, a curriculum that will expose them to math, science and engineering principles. The students will have the opportunity to learn more about the fields of engineering and to take part in it. By participating in the pre-engineering program, our students will be engaged in learning the engineering design process. Currently there are no engineering programs in any of the south Brooklyn high schools, this program will be the first in south Brooklyn at a high school with a diverse population. The material that we are requesting will help them learn the basics of building/designing projects. Through using the kits they will be engaged and challenged to solve the problems that are presented to them. They will explore a range of topics through hands-on activities and inquiry based learning. The kits has all the simple machines in it; this will help the students investigate how the machines work and think deeply about the concepts that offer us mechanical advantage that makes tasks easier and/or possible. These are skills that every engineering student needs. They need to know how tools work and how to balance how much work/effort a person puts and the work that needs to be done with the help of a machine. Some of our pre-engineering students are looking to be part of our award winning robotics club but are intimidated by building robots that require the understanding of simple machines since they have never worked with them.
