Course title: EDUC 421: STUDIO(Practicum in Community Service Activity) (SLN 14514, 14515).
STUDIO is an exciting opportunity to get involved in High Point community (in West Seattle) by working with middle and high school youths in an after-school program. It counts as VLPA or I&S credits as well. Our vision is to increase diversity and work toward educational equity in out of school programs by creating a community of learners where everyone's knowledge and skills are valued and incorporated into how we learn.
If you join us, you will adopt a mentoring role to middle and high school students. Past undergrads have said that it was one of the best experiences that they had in UW, because they felt a sense of belongingness learning together with youths and other undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds. You can check out a video we submitted for the NSF video showcase here. Please see Registration information on the flyer attached.
