STEAMS Academy provides: • Entercom Mini -Certification © • Pre-Apprenticeship 101 • Research & Development Project Based Learning • Evaluative and summary reporting and research .

We provide access to influencers, stakeholders, mentorship best practices and many resources and connections that schools need to fully fund and sustain STEAM curriculum to workforce placement for Underserved communities CCW will be the beneficiary of this STEAMS Academy pilot program and will receive the following benefits: 1.

A STEAM Track that exposes 12-16 students to case-managed and implemented projects that inspire, encourage and connect youth to pursue STEAM educational career tracks (Summer 2020)

2.

An experience that will be available to all CCW students, as well as select students from like-minded-spirited academies and work-force-readiness programs.

1.

Media created by students that documents the activities and results of STEM research and development www.brownbagtv.org

STEAM Training will accelerate and connect career strategies by providing a source of interaction and information to improve engagement and increase their involvement in these areas. The program will lead to the creation of media for the students by the students that will influence their peers towards STEAM educational pursuits. This media will highlight the story telling skills of the media students while it will provide documentation of the experience for the science students.

STEAMS Summer Bridge Academy

Program Overview:

The STEAMS (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math Stewardship) Summer Bridge Academy at Hart Beat Studios is an intensive six-week program designed to assist students get a head start in their high school academic pursuit and ease their transition from middle school to high school and beyond. The program targets middle school students who may be interested in careers within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.

Details: The Summer Bridge program this year will run for 4 consecutive weeks during the summer break which starts June 2020. Classes will meet for 1.5 hours daily for the duration of the (online) program. (Note that the exact dates and amount of time need to be confirmed.) non-credit to-date, but we’re in discussion with CSUEA. The program will cover two subject area: Coding and Digital Media production. For middle school students, participation will be a learning opportunity in the specific subject area. For high school and community college students, participation will be a leadership/mentorship opportunity.

Middle school students enroll in a 9th grade level course conducted by an instructor Evette Vargas. They will participate in all aspects of the program, which include orientation, coursework, advisement, workshops, in a simulated USC ICT STEAM Project which will provide the content and the coursework that will be completed by a collaborative team comprised of 12-16 school media students Benefits of Participation: - gain experience as a mentor to younger students.

- learn how to manage situations and direct people.

- receive credit for their work as a subject matter leader.

STEAMS Summer Bridge Academy Mentorship & Projected Outcomes The Summer Bridge Academy is comprised of a consortium of media, technologist mentors and students of color and girls connected through common Diversity and Inclusion initiatives in the digital media-technology career workforce.

The Summer Bridge Academy seeks to engage community college and university students to compete for slots in developing Intellectual Property as research material for social impact, and to develop their potential as future leaders and game changers in their respective communities.

Dakar will create the initial applicant pool by inviting a number of students from top STEAM boot camps and classrooms in Southern California to students on the fringe of the juvenile justice system to collaborate on project based learning modules donated from Silicon Valley companies such as, Intel, Apple, and Cisco.

The charter student members will be celebrated and exposed to leaders in tech entertainment (startups) as well as exposed to group and electronic mentorship and immersive training to develop them as ambassadors of the Academy. Research Student will demonstrate STEAM potential through depth of research and analysis, which is critical to conducting basic or fundamental research.

Stewardship Students will demonstrate STEAM potential through their passion to make a difference, most notably by seeking solutions to real-world problems in their underserved communities. Innovation Students will demonstrate STEAM potential by applying their problem solving aptitude of an STEAM Academy member through innovative design and creativity.

STEAMS Summer Bridge Academy General Concept: Four Programs running concurrently centered around researching a common problem and creating solutions and developing prototypes for further development

LACCD (hands on training)
