My Project

Our 10th & 11th grade students in Design 2 & 3 are creative, innovative, and aspirational individuals. They are working through unique project-based units to explore the fields of Computer Science, Medical Science, Broadcast Journalism, and Media Literacy so they can choose their pathway in 11th grade.

Our school is a STEM-focused Arts Magnet school, with a special track for neighborhood students.

These students often need extra support when buying classroom supplies & resources for their courses. Help my students by helping us purchase the classroom supplies they need to be creative in class!

Students in the Design courses will be exposed to many different projects over the course of the year, and have the opportunity to explore 3D Printers, Digital Imaging, Narrative Writing, and more. Your support will help our students have the resources they need to come to class each day & be the innovative designers they are!
