PCS Educational Philosophy

Hands-on, project based learning is the most effective way to teach, and to learn.

I hear...I forgetI see...and I rememberI do...and I understand

-- Ancient Chinese Proverb

PCS Learning Labs provide a methodology to actively integrate hands-on “practice” with academic “theory.” The concepts that are enforced and illustrated through hands-on methodology are extensive and range through a variety of disciplines. Many of the concepts taught are active extensions and reinforcements to the teacher’s regular curriculum – but the hands-on methodology brings the concepts to life for students.

Methodology

PCS Programs are designed to carefully walk a student from early childhood to a successful career stage.

"I'm now a student at Stanford University, studying both Computer Science and Archaeology. I began working for Hewlett Packard as a high school senior, and I now work there in the summers. [When attending PCS], I worked in Programming, UNIX, electronics, engineering...Now, I work extensively with Macs and UNIX at school." --Jennifer Gadda, Stanford University, Former PCS Edventures! Student

"As a student at PCS, I became very involved in computer technology. I'm currently a sophmore majoring in Computer Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I have been participating in research here in a variety of areas: live internet video, wireless networking, and quantum computing. I am also an avid skier, and play hockey and roller blade for fun.

-Brett Vasconcellos, Massachusetts Instituteof TechnologyCambridge, MA Former PCS Edventures! Student

"This year I will be a Freshman at the University of Michigan and I plan to major in Computer Engineering. The PCS Edventures program has been like a breeding environment for all my energy. It is where I got the bug to learn for the sake of learning.
