Little Singer Community School had the privilege to host the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU APL) NASA EAZIE workshop this summer. The event was held June 3rd - 5th and offered a unique opportunity to gain insight into the mission from JHU APL scientists and engineers, as well as through the lens of our local Indigenous community here at Little Singer. Great things are happening! We invite you to take a look at this special event and help us further develop our program of science and cultural immersion.
During the month of May, our 5th-6th graders at Little Singer Community School particpated in an Indigenous Education Institute (IEI) webinar featuring Commander Nicole Mann, the first Native American Woman in space. The students watched and listened intently while Commander Mann described what it was like to live, work, and lead during a six-month mission on the International Space Station. Our Little Singer students enthusiastically heard their questions answered by Colonel Nicole Mann during the Q & A session of that IEI webinar.
Innovative Collaborations bring rich experiences to our children. Many thanks to our principal and visionary, Mrs. Etta Shirley, for making such partnerships with KARMA and Tufts University possible.
(Insert): KARMA, which stands for the Ke’yah Advanced Rural Manufacturing Alliance, brings culturally relevant K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs to rural-based classrooms in Navajo Nation. Since 2016, they have been working with schools to create career opportunities for Navajo students by bridging STEM practices and Navajo cultural elements, such as singing, storytelling, and language.
