PACE was lucky to participate in 2 youth summits this spring. Both sites took students to the Safe City Youth Summit on March 24th. The students enjoyed all of their sessions, and gained a lot from the experience. In addition, PACE had two instructors- Erica and Joe - present at the conference. They did a session on cooperation and group work. People in the session had to create and original invention from random items and create a 30 second infomercial for it. It was a lot of fun and the inventions were great!
Also, students at PACE East attended the National Beacon's Youth Conference on April 8th. It was put on by the Cole Beacons Program at Cole Arts and Sciences Academy, and included youth from Beacon's programs across the country. The students had a lot of fun and really enjoyed a day out of the classroom.
Joe also presented at this conference. He presented a lesson on incorporating media into teaching at the adult conference, and a lesson about transitioning into middle school at the youth conference. Both were extremely were received. Congratulations to Joe on putting together 2 amazing presentations.
We at PACE are glad to have so many great partners and great opportunities throughout the area!
