Introduction:	Through the Middle School Program, OpenWorld Learning is excited to begin offering services to the often forgotten middle school student. The core of the program is divided into distinctive “Techno Tracks” designed to attract, engage and instruct the middle school student. Additionally, students explore career opportunities within their areas of interest. The Middle School Program teaches iconic computer programming in an open-ended approach, which supports the development of problem solving skills, project planning and management, as well as, meta-cognition through reflection and feedback. One of our main goals is to keep an inventive, hands-on learning approach to curriculum design and implementation, one that enables children to learn by building, imagining, playing, testing, and improving their inventions by sharing it with peers and teachers. OpenWorld Learning’s Middle School curriculum currently includes the following Techno Tracks: Robotics, Movie Making, Website Design, and Graphic Design. Each track allows students the opportunity to engage with their peers while learning about innovative technologies they could possibly encounter in their future. Additionally, we are working with prominent universities and companies to implement a Career Exploration curriculum designed to give students the opportunity and guidance to look at a variety of careers that are available to them and the various skills and abilities one needs to work in those career fields. Career Exploration days occur at least once per month and involve student research prior to or during the day’s activities.
