During the school year P4L offers THREE after school STEM-related program tracks:
For 28-30 weeks each year GRRL Tech and Tech Squad students engage in after school or weekend workshops and complete projects including coding and computer programming, circuitry, electronics, 2D and 3D design/printing, robotics and engineering.
Dig.Lit students collaborate and produce video shorts about youth relevant topics including “Living in a Global Society.” Our students also learn from guests who are college students or professionals in STEM-related fields.
Students gain skills aligned with ISTE
(International Society for Technology in Education)
standards:
Students gain interests in future STEM-related coursework and careers.
Students develop aspirations and expectations for success in high school, begin to prepare for college readiness and explore possible future careers.
Our signature Go2College after school and summer camp program helps middle school students (and parents) prepare for high school success and college readiness & access.
Go2College students complete college and career research projects, visit college campuses, meet college admissions counselors and students. They also learn about the courses they need to take in high school and what student attributes and accomplishments colleges admissions officers look for.
Students and their parents participate in free college preparation workshops to help them make a four year high school plan for college readiness. They go home equipped with college preparation and readiness kits.
P4L is keen to “level the playing field” & support striving but under-resourced students
who have college goals, drive, &dreams.
Since 2018 we’ve provided College Bridge for 9th and 10th graders. College Bridge helps our former Go2College middle schoolers continue to make progress on the path to college readiness and access
Student Activities
Over the course of the school year, students engage in a series of workshops to help them learn how to prepare in high school and build their college readiness portfolio. College Bridge helps students define their interests and research colleges that “fit them.” We introduce and familiarize our youth to free college access and completion programs like ACES, College Tracks and Collegiate Directions. (All three programs support students starting in their junior year of high school).
College Bridge students take guided campus tours to colleges and universities in Maryland and Washington, DC. They meet and talk with admissions counselors and college students, including P4L alums.
