    Recent Events

    Last Saturday was a day of science exploration and football for Next Level. We began our Saturday at Phoenix Academy with Ms. Lee’s KAMUL Mobile Science Cafe. Our students engaged in an exciting exploration of wind energy. 16 students participated in making their own custom windmills made out of CDs, corks, laminated paper, and other everyday materials. Each of our young men crafted their windmills and tested them with box fans to see how much energy they could produce. It was a treat to witness the unique ideas that each participant created. They learned the importance of renewable energy sources and the process of failure to create success.
