extruder ($90)
 Students will actually build the printer, huge for linkage
 Printers used this summer for programming
 Day teachers have really stepped up to assist SCs with printer

NEW BUSINESS
●
MDE Updates
○ Attended the Summer Summit on May 8th
■ Typically geared for elementary; Don Neal and staff
found this particular summit very helpful
■ Badges – students learn outside of the school; a
student who can build a robotic probably shouldn’t have to go through basic
math
● MDE is looking at working with an
organization that can award “badges” to students for certain skills
● Badges would be attached to
transcripts and display/move towards CCR
●
●
■ Don Neal volunteered to be a guinea pig – attached
badges to our curriculum
● Could help with retention in program
■ Get credit for things outside the classroom
■ Credibility issue?
○ Coding
■ MDE codes enrichment offerings to show what we
are doing as a program
■ Been working with MDE to determine the best way
for our program to code
■ Subjective process as one person reads enrichment
titles and determines what to code the enrichment as by the name of the
enrichment
○ ESEA – before Congress
■ Initial concern was that 21stCCLC was in peril of being
included in block grants
■ Last thing to come out from Senate committee was
that 21st CCLC would maintain its status
■ According to US Department of ED – worst case
scenario is that the 5 year grants would carry out
○ ADA
■ Meeting in Lansing next week to determine where
ADA is going for next year – based on funding?
Curriculum Review
○ STEM Sleuths – Approved
○ Improv presented at Summer Summit – two programs have requested
to use it; we will share but programs have to supply us with post survey results

AHEC helping out with green room activities

we can arrange it
C2P STEM/Replicator Lab Initiative
○ Signing contract today
○ 7 rooms, $500,000 worth of lab equipment
○ Life Sciences building
○ Separate but links to 21st CCLC initiative
○ Worked with HS teachers to develop their ideal lab – a lot of HS
teachers said they would take a FT to WSU to utilize
■ Free of cost to C2P schools
■ Cost to non C2P schools for sustainability
○ Open six days a week – on Saturdays might be running a class for
merit badges
○ Goal – 4-5 years we have a student that is going to the national
Science Fair
○ As you throw away stuff….give it to Don Neal
○ Using this summer on a limited basis; grand opening in September
○ Julie Bjarnesen – private funders may be interested in stocking lab
○ Exclusively for high school and middle school students
○ Forensics – Pharm has certificate program – students may need extra
projects; Jessie working on this….
National Workforce Diversity Pipeline Program Grant Initiative
○ Detroit Southwest initiative
○ Separate than 21st CCLC – targets Hispanics, African Americans
○ Separate cohorts yearly (5 year), 35 students, selected by the
community group
○ 2 Saturdays a year
○ Underrepresented students and pushing them into a health career
○ Hire an academic navigator – role of Tansi
2015/2016 Program Calendar
○ Proposed
○ Shows meeting dates, university closure dates, term dates
■ Before each term – there will be a Saturday
curriculum training on Saturdays
■ 5th Term – Drop In – Principals said that students
need help at the end of the year with finals
●
●
● Only available to students who have
attended the program throughout the school year
● No enrichments running during this
time
● May have field trips
○ Dr. Matthews – concern with dates for summer next year – medical
students start earlier (July 1)
○ AMA on campus this year in August – can we connect summer
programming with it?
■ If Dr. White-Perkins has connections, let us know
○ Needs key
2015/2016 Curriculum Map
○ 21st CCLC big on voice and choice – but there is too much of lag
getting these going at some of our sites hence the curriculum map with voice and
choice embedded
○ Created map out of a need for consistency
■ Maps will go to print this summer to aid in marketing
○ Forces planning – SCs need to have map to Don Neal by end of the
month
■ Some things are non-negotiable
■ Work with building principals in determine best
electives
○ Brochure goes to print in July/August
