Exploring the STEAM Experience at HMMA
Technology Integration
Technology is at the core of our approach. Each student is equipped with a laptop, essential for completing assignments that require internet access, specialized applications like Adobe, and Microsoft Office. Collaborative work is facilitated through individual usernames, passwords, and Google accounts, fostering peer and teacher interaction.
Personalized Learning Platform
Mentorship stands as Louisiana’s exclusive high school partnering with Summit Schools and Facebook on the Personalized Learning Platform (PLP). This innovative tool empowers teachers to deliver tailored instruction and self-directed learning within a rigorous framework, enabling students to master content on a deeper level.
Exposure to Opportunities
Collaborations with industry giants like Albemarle, Taylor Porter, ExxonMobil, and Solutions Through Science ensure students are intentionally exposed to STEAM careers. Our educators arrange field trips and invite guest speakers, ranging from Engineers to Architects, providing crucial insights into potential career paths.
Real-World Experience
Senior students at Mentorship have the opportunity to embark on internships in their areas of interest, which not only enhance their social skills but also connect them with real-world professionals. This invaluable hands-on experience facilitates practical application and fosters meaningful connections that extend far beyond the confines of the classroom.
At Helix Mentorship & Maritime Academy, STEAM isn’t just a concept; it’s a dynamic approach to education that readies students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
