Baltimore artist Alyssa Fenix and city teacher Vesna Grujicic worked with the Springboard grade 10 unit, "Voices in Synthesis," creating arts integrated activities that guide students to advocate for themselves, others, and issues of importance to them. Students will be empowered to see their voices as essential in making change, and use them in visual art activities to state claims and arguments.

Spoken word artist Ephraim Nehemiah worked with Ryan Fan to create this engaging and responsive exploration of the Springboard grade 9 unit on "Compelling Evidence." Using improvised debate, rant poems, and ekphrastic poems, participants will discover how to poetic arguments are a powerful force for communicating arguments through evidence.
