\"\"<\/a>Hi MAD-learn,<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n

A few weeks ago I was honored to attend and be a part of the<\/span> SEE Summit<\/span><\/a>: Students for Equitable Education, hosted by Digital Promise but organized, led, and presented entirely by STUDENTS. It was such a refreshing conference and I would like to encourage you to think about how you can empower your students to share their voice, their opinion, and their suggestions with your community as well. We have so much to learn from those we serve everyday. We would be happy to help you organize an event like this for your students, so please reach out. #SEEUsAll\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

STEM\/STEAM Partnerships<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Partnerships are at the core of who we are at MAD-learn. When<\/span> Miami-Dade County Public Schools<\/span><\/a> was looking for more business partners to work with schools who are in the process of getting their STEM\/STEAM Designation, we were happy to help! We have had the opportunity of sharing our journey and experiences with teachers and students at Leewood Elementary and Lakeview Elementary and have LOVED seeing the smiles on students’ faces as they learn to build their own mobile apps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Virtual Internships Available!<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The MAD-learn team is currently accepting applications for virtual internships. This opportunity is intended to provide substantial and relevant workplace experience in the field. The internship will take place remotely, and comprise work carried out in communication with a supervisor at both the school and MAD-learn. Individualized assignments and projects for interns are uniquely crafted, based on the intern\u2019s interests. Scheduling is flexible, also driven by a candidate\u2019s availability. These positions are unpaid, but stipends may be available based on projects, length of internship, and performance during the experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you know of a high school or college age student who might be interested in this unique experience, please<\/span> share this link<\/span><\/a> to the application form.<\/span><\/p>\n

MAD-teachers of the Month<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Shaina Philpot<\/span><\/b> is not only a Site Coordinator for the University of Kansas GEAR UP program that works with students in the Kansas City, KS school district, she is also a full-time student working on attaining her doctorate degree in Leadership in Higher Education from Northcentral University. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about her MAD-learn experience, she said, \u201cMAD-learn has been a phenomenal experience for both students and teachers.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The support provided by MAD-learn to help students develop apps is unlike anything I\u2019ve ever seen. It\u2019s fun and engaging for all involved, from the beginning stages of brainstorming to seeing the final product! I truly value our partnership with MAD-learn and look forward to a future full of \u2018APP\u2019iness!\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/span>Education is her passion and Shaina considers herself a lifelong learner. We are so happy she has chosen to spend time with us!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Julius Brownlee is also a teacher of many skills. He describes himself as \u201ca Culture Carrier, Equity Warrior and a Good Trouble Disruptor.\u201d Julius considers it a privilege to \u201cholistically assist\u201d 3300 students in the Kansas City, Kansas Public School district. He has done so as a College Access Coordinator with KU GEAR UP for 7.5 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

He and his colleagues formulate successful programming, to increase their shareholder’s participation in post-secondary studies, and eliminate their need for remediation.<\/span><\/p>\n

This \u201cCulture Carrier\u201d also spends time writing, performing and producing his own music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Julius was magnanimous in his response to being named co-recipient of this month\u2019s recognition, saying, \u201cWhat a huge honor. Thank you guys for all that you do for our students. The Real MVPs. Salute!\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n

May\u2019s Featured Tutorial<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Adding descriptions and tags is a requirement for full publication of an app to the MAD-store. These also serve as valuable learning experiences in the value of relevant identification and marketing practices. But you may ask, \u201cHow do I get to that part of my app?\u201d This simple, one minute<\/span> video tutorial<\/span><\/a> walks you through the steps. Check it out!<\/span><\/p>\n

CSTA is the Computer Science Teacher’s Association and we are thrilled to partner with their Florida chapter to bring ideas and engagement around app development to teachers in the sunshine state! Now if only we can go visit a sunny beach in person soon…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
