Do good, go green, earn badges, earn green.
Hi all,
Many teachers and educators in our district have gotten on the badging train and are supporting their students to earn credibility by demonstrating 21st Century Skills by earning badges through the Green Star Schools Program. I've received many emails about how best to incorporate badging into every day activities, where the students can take responsibility for their learning!
To find out more please visit badges.aurorak12.org or email Amanda McLean at armclean@aps.k12.co.us

Remember!
In order to earn cash incentives with the Green Star Schools Program, your students and club members will need to earn badges to demonstrate student engagement in the program!
Here's to another week of going green!

Green Stars Meets Girls Tech Camp 2016!
More than 60 6th grade girls participated in this year's Girls Tech Camp to try their hand in STEM activities and explore careers related to and involved with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Honestly, what career these days doesn't have one, two, three, or all of these aspects in one way or another?!
