Community Relations Committee

Student members of the Community Relations Committee create programs to inspire technological innovation within the West Philadelphia community. The Committee teaches a science and technology after school program with 3rd and 4th graders at Penn-Alexander School and the Sayre Beacon program. Lesson plans include volcanoes (baking soda and vinegar), flight (paper airplanes), and Newton's 3rd law of motion (bottle and balloon rockets). Future goals include expansion into other schools and developing activities focused on high-school students. For more information contact crc@weisstechhouse.com

Write-On Event

Friday, February 23, 2007

Write-On works with local 7th and 8th grade students to improve their creative writing and public speaking skills. Write-On hosted a session at the Weiss Tech House on February 23. The purpose was to utilize technology in their writing by using computers to create flyers, illustrate stories they have written, and perform internet scavenger hunts.
