Causing the RIPPLE that Changes the World |
|
Our approach at RIPPLE rests on the philosophy that young people learn and achieve by three following fundamental principles: example, exposure and confidence. |
|
Our Approach |
|
RIPPLE combines specific evidence-based curriculum and mentor and student service components into a coherent educational experience for students and RIPPLE staff. It provides the resources necessary to help promote student retention, academic achievement, career exploration and community service. In addition, to make college enrollment and completion more realistic for typically non STEM aspiring students, RIPPLE offers institutions of higher learning a warehouse of potential future scientific innovators. RIPPLE has seven structural components and seven program components that, when used together, are closing the innovation gap. RIPPLE institute inc. works with existing assets—community educational systems, existing principals and teachers, and STEM professional. |
|
Youth learn by doing and seeing how others have accomplished their dreams. Participants will learn competitive job skills and constantly meet with professionals working in STEM fields. Each guest presenter will provide a life biography and outline of their path to success. These encounters will illustrate to the participants the who, what, when, where and how to achieve career goals. |
|
By building self-confidence, self-image, self-discipline in their personal lives RIPPLE is addressing the whole person and these changes will positively affect every aspect of their lives. A positive self-esteem with critical decision making skills are traits and skills needed to yield empowered members of society. To be successful in the scientific workforce participants will be armed with the inner strength needed to ensure their success. Learning something new and completely different liberates the mind. Facing a challenge, meeting it and mastering it helps build confidence. |
|
By expanding the horizons of the youth participants to think, hope, dream, and aspire for life achievements beyond their current comfort zones. These excursions will be enlightening and our desire is that they will inspire greatness in the youth of America. Will we attend local art museums, science centers, zoos, national historical sites, and visit architectural masterpieces. |
