For the past couple weeks our Marine Science and UTeach students, Emma, Addison, and Lexi have been helping teach 5th and 6th graders about math, science, and MARINE SCIENCE!🌊📚

Beach BRAIN is a summer camp created by our Dean of Education, Dr. Angela Barlow. It is dedicated to getting kids excited about fractions, science, and more importantly how we can use fractions in science! ➗🐚

Emma, Lexi, and Addison worked together with Dr. Miller and Dr. Sprinkle to create a week-long curriculum for students to learn about fractions through Plankton, Fish ID, Plants, Invertebrates, and Microplastics!🦀🐠

Way to go guys!🐆❤️🤍💙

🏫✨ Our UTeach South PBI students this spring got an incredible behind-the-scenes look at Baldwin Prep Academy! We toured their brand-new facility and explored how Project Based Instruction comes to life in a career and technical education setting. From state-of-the-art classrooms to hands-on learning spaces, it was an inspiring day seeing the future of education in action. Big thanks to Baldwin Prep for welcoming us! 🤙 Baldwin County Public Schools
