Kenilworth Science and Technology Academy’s Post

Kenilworth Science and Technology Academy has been nationally recognized by Character.org with a "Promising Practice" award for our outstanding commitment to fostering good character! This is just the beginning of our character development program and the many initiatives to come. As a team, we are working diligently to ensure our students leave Kenilworth with both the academic skills they need and outstanding character. Thank you to our wonderful Culture & Character Coordinators, Ms. Wilson and Mr. Bennett, for their hard work! Read more at: https://lnkd.in/efRiKJTx

Last Friday, our Kenilworth students visited the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (CAMD) at Louisiana State University! Under the guidance of Dr. Orhan Kizilkaya, our students had the incredible opportunity to delve into hands-on experiments, exploring the cutting-edge technologies shaping our future. From nanotechnology to materials science, every moment was filled with wonder and discovery. A huge thank you to Dr. Kizilkaya @CAMD team for his warm welcome and for igniting the curiosity and passion for science in our students. CAMD is the synchrotron facility in the southern United States. The students learned how synchrotron light is generated and utilized at various experimental stations for ongoing research projects. They were exposed to advanced technology up close and involved in hands-on demonstrations, including optics, electroplating, and experiments showcasing changes in states of matter using liquid nitrogen and magic mud (also known as Oobleck). The tour concluded with a sweet treat-orange ice cream made with liquid nitrogen and orange crush.

We are happy to partner with 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Baton Rouge to host The 100’s STEM and Robotics Summer Academy. It is designed to help youth develop an interest in STEM and to gain effective skills in the areas of communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and community. Youth will be engaged in hands-on experiments, learn computer programming, robotics, video game development, as well as develop language arts skills. They will also maintain scholastic alertness during the summer break while having fun in the process! Link to Register: https://lnkd.in/gWa5mMpb

It was an incredible day at Kenilworth on Saturday hosting an International Festival on our campus, bringing the diverse flavors and vibrant cultures of the world right to our doorstep! We sampled delicious food from various cultures and enjoyed performances from different countries, all put on by our talented students.

Congratulations to our brilliant students from Kenilworth Science and Technology Academy for their outstanding performance at the LSU Region VII Science & Engineering Fair! They brought home a total of 11 awards, including 1 First Place, 4 Third Place, and 6 Fourth Place honors. Your dedication to scientific inquiry and innovation is truly inspiring! #STEMexcellence #ScienceFairChampions #KenilworthPride

Join us for an unforgettable celebration of diversity, knowledge, and creativity at the International Cultural and Literacy Festival! Mark your calendars and spread the word! 

Kenilworth students are leveling up their programming, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills with Sphero robots, thanks to the Quality Science and Mathematics (QSM) Grant Program provided by LSU Cain Center!

We are thrilled to announce a unique opportunity that has come our way! Liz Cohen and Thomas Toch from FutureEd at Georgetown University are currently working on a special project to showcase high-impact tutoring success stories and highlight innovative practices in education. Guess what? They've set their sights on featuring the outstanding work of TFA Ignite right here at Kenilworth! In addition to observing the first grade Reading tutoring sessions, Liz and Thomas recently had the privilege of meeting with our incredible students to gain insights into the impact that tutoring has had on their educational journey. Their firsthand experiences and stories will undoubtedly showcase the positive influence of the TFA Ignite program on our Kenilworth first graders!
