Breakthrough Miami encourages our Scholars to identify and cultivate their talents, while maximizing opportunities for new experiences, new perspectives and new growth. Our students-teaching-students model breeds creativity and engaged learning. Check out our Scholar Chesley’s recent math assignment "Geometry Through Art". She used geometric shapes and Google Docs' drawing tool to construct an incredible recreation of Stuart Davis' “Owh! In San Poa”. #WednesdayWisdom #BreakthroughTheDistance #HardWork #RawTalent

Kaela Makins, a 7th Grade Math Teaching Fellow, provides scholars an overview of their second project-based learning (PBL) assignment. With a myriad of Ed-Tech tools available to teaching practitioners, Breakthrough Miami teaching fellows are leveraging the big three: @edmodo, @nearpod, and @zoom_video_communications.

PBL is a teaching method where kids learn knowledge and skills by working over an extended period to investigate and respond to an authentic and engaging question and/or problem. The research on PBL instruction points to the development of increased intrinsic motivation within students. Student choice is a seminal centerpiece of PBL, providing scholars with greater agency over their learning. #TechTuesday #BreakthroughTheDistance #Hardwork #RawTalent #ChangingLives #CreatingLeaders

We thank the @miamidolphins @hardrockstadium for a dynamic partnership that continues to grow as we deepen our work together. We were proud to be a part of the opening weekend events for the new Outdoor Theaters at Hard Rock Stadium last week as together we honored history, shared values and a vision for the future with the feature showing of Selma on Juneteenth. We gratefully acknowledge the Miami Dolphins for designating proceeds from this event to benefit Breakthrough Miami and Urban League of Broward County. #ThankfulThursday #TBT #ItTakesAVilage #BreakthroughTheDistance #ChangingLives #CreatingLeaders #BreakthroughMiami #FootballUnites

Breakthrough Miami is proud to celebrate our partnership with @miamidolphins and @hardrockstadium as we honor history, shared values and a vision for the future. Commemorating the historic importance of #Juneteenth, we come together for the sold out showing of @selmamovie on the opening weekend of the new Outdoor Theaters at Hard Rock Stadium. Chronicling three-months in 1965 as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led the campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent White supremacist opposition, Selma, provides us not only historical artifacts, but a reminder that the voting-rights victory nearly 50 years ago was not only hard-fought but also a journey not yet complete.

We gratefully acknowledge the Miami Dolphins for designating all proceeds from this event to benefit @BreakthroughMiami and Urban League of Broward County @ulbroward. #ChangingLives #CreatingLeaders #MiamisOpportunityGenerator

Today is a historic moment in our history, as we launch our first ever virtual Summer Institute. A central force of our program model for nearly 30 years, our 6-week Summer Institute brings students together in a high-energy, fun and engaging environment anchored by rigorous hands-on learning to prepare Scholars for their next grade in the Fall. Together we are embarking on an unprecedented journey to set our students-teaching-students model into the virtual world.
We are excited to welcome 220 new rising 5th graders, full of ambition and potential, who join the rest of our Scholars on an eight-year journey to propel them to their future. Our dynamic cadre of 130 Teaching Fellows, filled with purpose and aspiration, are eager to lead, teach, mentor and learn as they set forth on a life-changing experience. Join us in welcoming the class of 2028! We invite you to #supportascholar today to help us ensure our promise to their success. Donate today at breakthrough.miami/supportascholar

Breakthrough is about #HardWork #RawTalent. Late night, early morning, Saturdays, and Summers, our Scholars are forging a path to their future. A pinnacle of student achievement, each year only 300 @gatesfoundation scholarships are awarded. This year, THREE of our @breakthroughmiami Scholars were selected as #GatesScholars: Heavyn Lee will be attending @Harvard, Bryce Smith will be attending @brownu, and Scarleth Meggs is headed to @MIT!
We are proud to support our Scholars in catching their dreams and grateful for their tremendous commitment. We cannot do this work without our Village of supporters who make this work possible. Thank you to all our donors for your investment in our work as an Opportunity Generator. Learn more about our scholar recipients at breakthrough.miami/gates
