Are you interested in how buildings withstand earthquakes? Are you intrigued by sustainable “green” building design? Are you wondering how a building can start out as an idea and become reality? Introducing
Youth prepare for Washington State Business Week Program
The Washington state Business Week Program, which creates a hand-on experiential environment to educate, high school students and community volunteers, teach and inspire one another to be responsible employees, employers and citizens. The program places high school students in a dynamic simulation where they compete as industry professionals, sharpen communication skills, and face REAL-WORLD challenges with the guidance of a mentor from the business community, students gain a competitive edge in college preparation, workplace readiness and overall life success.
Real World EDA's Pre-school Mastery Program
During the learning process, we ideally use three main pathways to learning: visual, auditory and kinesthetic
We are wired to learn using the three pathways, and the strength of each modality is different for each person. Some people may be very strong visual learners, while others learn best auditorily or kinesthetically. We also utilized Emotional Intelligence with its four components, including critical thinking. We don't utilize a grade system, we utilize a MASTERY SYSTEM. Students master the subjects before moving on. Assisting students to take ownership of their communities through understanding the concept of economic development.
