Rising sixth-graders at Robert Smalls Leadership Academy take Northwestern University STEM enrichment
Summary
Beaufort County students at Robert Smalls Leadership Academy described a Northwestern University STEM enrichment program using Gizmo visualization tools; students said weekly themes (e.g., waves) and hands-on projects are helping them prepare for future college and careers.
The bulletin highlighted that some rising sixth-graders at Robert Smalls Leadership Academy are spending the summer taking Northwestern University enrichment courses.
A student said, “Every week, we have a different STEM project to do, and most of it is on Gizmo, which is really good because we could visually see it, and it's really helpful.” Another student described a week focused on waves and said the experience could help with future engineering study. Students said taking such courses now will help them succeed in college, and one spoke about wanting to be an engineer.
The bulletin directed viewers to the district’s YouTube channel for the full video of the Northwestern University enrichment courses.
