Students: Our Best Ambassadors |
|
|
|
What better way to show off the MPH campus and speak to the School's culture than to let our students do it in their own words? Made in partnership with 325 Productions, our new admissions video offers a look at key spaces on the MPH campus through the eyes of our students. The MPH Admissions team will utilize the video when communicating with prospective families and students, and you can expect to see it on the MPH website and social media properties. Students ambassadors in the video are members of the MPH Admissions club and worked almost entirely unscripted (with some gentle professional guidance from MPH and 325 staff). |

Kindergarteners Engineer Solutions
Kindergarten students were able to spark their curiosity and unlock their creativity while solving problems this week using the curriculum from Engineering is Elementary from the Museum of Science, Boston.
"Here's the Scoop: Designing Trash Collectors" invites kindergarteners to explore how designing an engineering solution can help an animal. The unit begins with the storybook Taking Out the Trash in which two friends, Yumi and Dev, work together to help save a duckling named Danny from trash in his pond. Over the course of the unit, students learn about animal habitats, human impacts on the environment, and protecting the environment. They also develop cognitive, social, motor, and language skills through collaborative activities like brainstorming, testing materials, and comparing their group's designs with others. Like Dev and Yumi, students then follow the steps of the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve their own trash collectors.
The Engineering Design Process song:
We are engineers.
We are engineers!
We can solve problems.
We are engineers!
Ask, Imagine, Plan,
Then we create.
Improve to make it better.
Engineers are great!

Students in Matt Twomey-Smith's "AS: The North American City" course took a field trip to Baltimore recently to get some in-person opportunities for assessment and learning. The elective on the urban history, geography, and culture of various American cities provides an in-depth analysis of the urban planning of a city over time, the centrality of the city in the American historical narrative, and the historical and demographic influences on culture.
Students visited the famous Peabody Library, as well as The USS Constellation and USS Toursk. They also made a stop at Orioles Park on the Inner Harbor.
