We invite you to participate in our upcoming program, Girls Who Lead, a week-long summer externship that serves nearly 80 students across two cohorts from two local high schools. Throughout this comprehensive experience, these high school girls participate in industry tours, hands-on learning activities, and valuable career connections. By providing exposure to real-world STEAM applications, fostering leadership skills, and facilitating interactions with industry professionals, Girls Who Lead empowers participants to envision themselves as future leaders in STEAM. STEAM companies across San Diego County can get involved by hosting a cohort of students at their campus for a day or by hosting a workshop at the participating students’ school for an afternoon. To learn more about Girls Who Lead and other Generation STEAM programming supporting underrepresented students across California, please visit https://lnkd.in/ggKCQaic or contact Silvana DelPiccolo to learn more. #WomeninSTEM #STEAM

Servant Leader, Eternally Optimistic Educator, Disruptive Creative Thinker, Storyteller, Polymath in training
Today's message in Brad Montague's The Enthusiast email hit hard and was exactly what I needed to hear. In the off chance you don't follow Brad, but come on why wouldn't you be following him, I have attached his permission slip for your use. It's time we break free from the confines of traditional academic boundaries and embrace the power of creativity in our work! Here is permission to think outside the box, experiment with new teaching methods, approaches to how we do our work, and foster innovation in our educational institutions. Last week Academic Impressions hosted Essential Leadership Skills for Deans in Denver and I had the privileged to lead several sessions. Attendees experienced the power of LEGO® Serious Play® and Design Thinking/Collaborative Practices in leading change at their institutions. Attendees left excited to return to their campuses and explore these new found techniques (skills) with their team. Only through embracing creativity can we inspire our students, staff, faculty and fellow leaders to drive meaningful change, and make a lasting impact on the future of education. Together, let's unleash our creativity, challenge the status quo, and transform higher education into a vibrant hub of innovation and inspiration that is so desperately needed today. DM if interested in learning how to incorporate creativity into your meetings and empower your team whether on your campus or by attending one of our future conferences. #HigherEducation #Creativity #Innovation #FutureOfHigherEducation #DesignThinking

This is an excellent example of how the private sector can make tranfromative local impact.
As part of our commitment to bridging the digital divide, WillowTree recently hosted the University of Virginia's MOCHA/WOCHA/POCHA participants at our Charlottesville office, welcoming students from Walton Middle School in Albemarle County, Virginia to explore activities and workshops related to AI, Apple Vision Pro, product design, digital strategy, and marketing services. The “Men/Women/People of Color, Honor, and Ambition” programs at UVA and nearby school districts provide opportunities for academic, personal, and professional growth, as well as leadership development. Through MOCHA/WOCHA/POCHA, UVA undergraduate participants receive professional mentoring and mentor high school students, who in turn, mentor middle schoolers. These year-long programs are open to UVA undergrads, and middle and high schoolers in the region regardless of race or ethnicity. Many thanks to Dr. Joshua Epps, Program Manager for UVA's Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Jerrod Smith, WillowTree Revenue Optimization Manager, for their leadership in facilitating this opportunity and the important work of the MOCHA/WOCHA/POCHA programs overall. Learn more about how WillowTree is dedicated to contributing our resources to community-based organizations and helping make technology accessible to everyone — especially those who have been denied equal opportunities: https://lnkd.in/eqWE347B #socialimpact #DEI #UVA #Charlottesville

Every school year is a new opportunity to be innovative and transformative in how we instruct and engage young people. I particularly appreciate the school leaders who are taking the summer months to not only rest and reflect, but also reimagine education and cast a vision that moves their practice closer to the goal of equity for all. Now is when the change begins. #SummerLearning #SummerBuilding #VisionCasting #TransformativeLeaders
