City Lab

Program Development

Description

City Lab is an educational job program created to teach Tulsa Public Schools students to identify real-world problems, propose solutions, and present ideas within a design-thinking framework. City Lab provides opportunities for students to build leadership skills, engage creatively, and develop STEM practices to better prepare them for the challenges of college, career, and young adult life. The Program Proposal and Virtual Facilitation guide linked below were written by myself and a co-worker. The program proposal demonstrates our project management strategy for developing the City Lab program from scratch. It includes our program goals and competencies, a theoretical framework and rationale for our program decisions, and program design details. In addition, the proposal includes a logic model, as well as scaling and management plans. The Virtual Facilitation Guide was created as a guide for adult leaders participating in our first two-week Summer 2020 program. It includes a detailed schedule, curriculum, and activity guides. Both the program proposal and virtual facilitation guide were created using Google G Suite tools, primarily Docs and Sheets.
