BECOMING PROBLEM SOLVERS FOR THE NEW ECONOMY

2015 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends,

The Ingenuity Project is proud to advocate for investment in Baltimore City’s high ability students who have the potential to become the next generation of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) leaders. Ingenuity’s accelerated and rigorous mathematics and science curriculum for grades six-12 earns it national recognition, and the program is the only proven opportunity to excel for these students in Baltimore City Public Schools.

Ingenuity added to its capabilities • Ingenuity’s alumni network We thank our longstanding, in school year 2014-15 with continued to grow thanks to generous supporters that are so leadership changes and new the use of social media.

The Ingenuity Project and Baltimore City Public ENROLLMENT Schools form a public-private partnership that In school year 2014-15, 534 educates the system’s gifted and advanced students Baltimore City Public School students in grades six to 12 citywide. Ingenuity offers the students a pathway enrolled in The Ingenuity Project. to progress — from middle school through high All have the potential to perform in the top 10th percentile nationally. school, and to the nation’s most selective colleges to prepare for a rewarding professional future. LOCATIONS The program is hosted by three middle schools — Hamilton, Mount Royal, and Roland Park — and a single high school, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (Poly).

1 THE STUDENTS WE SERVE Ingenuity Project Enrollment in the 2014-15 School Year

tudents citywide may apply for admission to SThe Ingenuity Project in the fifth and eighth grades. Ideally, middle school students will progress through the STEM curriculum sequence from sixth through 12th grades.

Each application includes multiple measures of a student’s abilities and past achievements. In prior years, the selection model included verbal and quantitative tests, teacher recommendations, and report card grades. In 2015, Ingenuity This is the first Mount Royal MathCounts team to compete in the regional examined new assessments and competition at McDonogh School.

3 HOW INGENUITY STUDENTS EXCEL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Ingenuity middle school student growth exceeds national averages in math and science. When students achieve expected levels of growth as compared to a national sample, their overall percentiles generally remain the same. However, Ingenuity students continue to move beyond nationally compared peer groups—a trend also seen in previous years.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH COMPETITIONS Middle school students with an eagerness for more math opportunities participate in MathCounts and Math Olympiads. Regional competitions extend classroom learning for students and build self-confidence as strong problem-solvers. MathCounts teams practice weekly, and progress from school competitions to a regional competition held at McDonogh School.

7 EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Beyond the Textbooks

MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Experiential learning is a priority throughout the middle school science curriculum that covers earth science, biology, and the physical sciences. Students learn research methodologies by developing their own science projects. They show their results in school-based science fairs and in the citywide science fair at Morgan State University.

Beginning in fall 2015, experiential science will Rian Finney, seventh grade, Mount Royal Middle School play an even greater role in the middle school science MIDDLE SCHOOL program.

8 SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Beyond the Classroom

he hallmark of The Ingenuity Project is its Tthree-year high school Research Curriculum, which requires students to develop independent research projects under the mentorship of distinguished scientists and engineers at Baltimore’s world- renowned institutions. Longtime sponsoring departments at Johns Hopkins University include: Mechanical Engineering Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Pathology, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Radiology. Students enter their projects into science competitions and may advance to national and international levels. Ingenuity team members (left to right): Amy Zhang, Jakob Lucas, Martin Orellana, Craig Williams, Aishwarya Shettigar, and Anisa Hofert.

10 TO THINK, CREATE, AND INNOVATE Cultivating Tomorrow’s Transformational Leaders

Ingenuity’s primary 2015 fundraiser was transformed into a TED-style event providing middle and high school students a forum for sharing scientific discoveries and personal aspirations. The event’s 250 guests were enthralled by the spirited students whose abilities, presence, and self-knowledge will place them among tomorrow’s transformational leaders.
