The Step, led by Abby, will be an updated version of the Woonsocket High School website that aims to decrease negativity and increase pride and enthusiasm for the school within its community (students, teachers, parents, etc.). It will be a place for Woonsocket High School stakeholders to communicate, learn about events, see student work showcased, read student opinions, and purchase school merchandise.
Affected by her own experiences being bullied as well as the tragic stories of young people who have committed suicide because they have been affected by bullying, Yamah is creating a program to address bullying that gives victims the confidence to stand up for themselves, tell someone, or walk away.  Yamah plans on beginning her program by hosting movie nights and guest lectures on the topic of bullying.  Yamah is participating in the Expanded Learning Opportunities pilot, which means she is getting school elective credit for the work she is doing in our afterschool program.
UnReal Tech is a group of highly intelligent high school students would like to take their love of computer games and animation and share it with younger generations. This team plans to create an afterschool game design program where young people are engaged in creating original computer games. This team recognizes the value of the skills needed to create computer games and use animation software and how these skills are applicable to the 21st century workforce.
