Making Magic at "High-Tech Hogwarts"
McKibben, Sarah; Davis, Kevin
Educational Leadership, v76 n5 p48-53 Feb 2019
While it's school building looks like something straight out of Harry Potter, Washington Leadership Academy is best-known for its visionary thinking. One of only 10 schools in the U.S. to receive a $10 million grant from XQ: The Super School Project, the public charter is immersing its mostly minority, low-income students in technology--giving them "game-changing skills" to compete in fields in which they have been historically underrepresented. In this photo essay, discover how experiences in virtual reality, computer science, and more are helping students become technology "creators, not just consumers."
