MAKERTEENS
2022 - 2023 school year

Promotes High School Graduation and College and Career Readiness

The goal of Oregon’s Measure 98 is to “support the needs of students related to engagement, personalization, achievement, and college and career readiness.”

More than a drop-out prevention program, the MAKERTEENS Alternative Education Career Academy is a one-year program for high school students to gain college credit and career readiness skills as they complete a well-rounded theme-based curriculum while converting a retired school bus into a home. Any high school student may apply, but preference is given to Klamath Falls City School District students who have completed Algebra I or Geometry but may have risk factors.

Proposal for Full Year Program

Provide a dozen high school students the opportunity to gain construction skills and academic knowledge. This same MAKERTEENS cadre will be mentored through classes such as:

• Integrated Science
• Construction Math
• Geometry
• English Language Arts
• Spanish
• AP Psychology
• AP Studio Art
• Band
• Health/PE
• Family and Consumer Science
• Media (Web Design, Videography)
• Welding

Students in a project-based, intense mentorship, along with job shadowing in the community, and parent engagement, will effectively move toward a diploma, personal success, and job skills. Additionally, students may earn badges and certificates in industry recognized proficiencies.

MAKERTEENS practice Oregon’s 21 Century Essential Skills:

• Read and comprehend a variety of text

• Apply mathematics in a variety of settings
• Listen actively and speak clearly and coherently
