Evanston News September 2018 Congratulations and thank you to Joseph Hamilton, AWL Middle School Science Teacher (Left to Right) Mr. Hamilton (Middle School Science Teacher), John Gurung, Rihisti Berhane, Adeline Niyonkunda, Joyrse Muhorakeye, Chanella Magdarena, Mohamed Doukoure, Dorotiya Taman, Yorma Reynoso Tomas, Beatrice Alyumtu, Mariam Coulibaly, Esmeralda Reynoso Tomas Academy of World Languages, Bike Club Bike club is funded by the Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative (GCSC) which promotes student engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In this club students explore the many components of bicycles and learn how to optimize and repair these parts. Through this exploration students are tasked with inquiry based problems for which they can solve by using the tools supplied to them by the GCSC. Students get an opportunity to work in groups to face the many challenges of repairing and optimizing a 7 gear bicycle. Toward the end of the clubs journey, students learn how to properly ride a bike in public areas and are motivated to use their bikes daily. At the end of the club each student gets to take the bike they worked on home. It is through this club that students are able to apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom to a real world problem. AWL and the GCSC mission is to supply students with the access to science application. It is also our goal that the students find some curiosity, fun, and exercise during and after the clubs execution.
