PageLabs
Since 2018, we have expanded our menu of place-based learning opportunities for girls in their final year in Middle School and in High School. This allows each participant to enjoy learning opportunities that grow and change with each year of her PAGE journey.
Our newest projects are called PageLabs. These engage participants in learning that integrates STEM with the arts and humanities.
In PageLabs, girls in grades 8-10 engage in collaboration, teamwork, and storytelling. Girls learn by working with our Project Facilitators –real scientists, artists, photographers, and historians –and each year’s team of College Interns.
We organize these learning opportunities around themes (such as the past, present, and future of historic schools), methods (such as historical research or the observation of plants and soils), and tools (such as lab journals, Galileo telescopes, and scientific illustrations).
We are committed to place-based learning, making use of the rich resources of Appalachia. Some of our PageLabs occur in classrooms, others in pop-up, site-specific classrooms: a two-room Rosenwald schoolhouse, a heritage garden featuring Appalachian plants and seeds.
We invite you to enjoy some of the new projects created by girls in our PageLabs:
PAGE Humanities Labs
These labs connect the best of the old and new, by helping girls engage with the people, places, and stories of Appalachia using innovative tools for learning and connecting.
PAGE STEM Labs
These labs engage girls in creative, hands-on ways with science and technology, working with real scientists and connecting science with the arts and humanities.
