Welcome to the second trimester of Modular Lab. Modular Lab is a hands-

on cooperative and collaborative student-driven class.

There’s got to be a better way to

learn . . .?

Thomas Friedman’s examination of the influences shaping

business and competition in a

technology-fueled global environment is

a call to action for governments,

businesses and individuals who must

stay ahead of these trends in order to remain

competitive.

“We MUST build a strong infrastructure and capacity for preparing students, workers and

citizens with 21st century skills.”

“Create a significant Global Competitiveness Research and Development Fund for U.S. education, and target a quarter of the funding to innovation in

21st century skills. “

*The Partnership for 21st Century Skills

Students will experience 3-4

various ‘rotations’ during their 12

week experience. Partnerships will vary and will be selected by Mr.

Quinlan.

Teams will be required to ‘manufacture’ a final product from each module station.

Those products will be discussed and determined between students and Mr.

Quinlan.
