What if students had the option of experiencing learning not in a classroom, but in a diverse array of public institutions like the Smithsonian, NIH, and NASA?

Countdown to the #2024 Folklife Festival: 50 days!

Twenty years after the opening of @SmithsonianNMAI in Washington, D.C., we‘re welcoming back Indigenous elders and youth, experts and learners, artists and knowledge keepers.

We can’t wait for you to meet them, June 26–July 1!

Today, @Kerry_Savage_ testified on addressing the youth mental health & violence crisis. Let’s pour into our kids - with SBMH, OST, safe passage, & joyful learning environments. Let’s listen to kids and families on what they need, then make targeted investments & policy choices!

Latino history is American history. This #HispanicHeritageMonth and all year, our @USLatinoMuseum and the entire Smithsonian celebrate the ways in which Latinos and Latinas have shaped our nation. We embrace the fact that there is no one Latino story, perspective, or experience.

“There is nothing more powerful than a people, than a nation, steeped in its history. And there are few things as noble as honoring our ancestors by remembering. " - Lonnie G. Bunch III, Smithsonian Secretary and Founding Director of our museum.

@DrAmberMukasa @FriendshipPCS So exciting to see high quality #PBL in place in the first two weeks of school!! Projects don’t have to be saved just for the end of the year! Thanks @PBLWorks for all the great resources that helped with project planning

[Amber Mukasa @DrAmberMukasa]

Last week, scholars successfully held their “mini” celebration of learning answering the question “What does it mean to be a CapX scholar?” Such a fantastic show of their learning!

This week, they venture off to their first community-based experiences! @capxlab @FriendshipPCS
