Improving Connections Between the Classroom, Micro, and Community Professionals

Tuesday, July 12, 2022, 1:45 PM - 2:15 PM

Hear how Penn Hills Charter School of Entrepreneurship built a bigger, better community partner program that engages partners both in-person and online, including via the Nepris online platform. Listen as the citizens of “Soarmania” share about the rich experiences they had with community partners and immeasurable new knowledge they gained throughout the school year. These new partners will talk about their experience working inside a MicroSociety school for the first time and their eagerness to again work with PHCSE students in the fall. In addition, you will see how students engaged with industry professionals from around the world via Zoom, thanks to Nepris. In preparation for Micro Night, the employees of each venture, agency and nonprofit joined a virtual conversation with a Nepris industry professional who shared their from-the-field knowledge! Finally, PHCSE will share its plans to continue infusing Nepris into MicroSociety and enable Nepris to seep into the four walls of the classroom as well.
