| Part III, line 2 | CEO Superheros educators begin teaching youth to build and code robots at age 5 through our Bots & Tots program with the Vex robotics and other fun teaching tools: https: youtu.be iLOEO8wbGEk?si=cbwsEapOG7HFo8EK We partner with literacy advocate and author Markedia Alston in a strategy designed to teach pre-school and kindergarten children social-emotional resilience skills. Through her book The BooHoo BooHoo Bear Markedia has created a tool complete with a curriculum being implemented to teach young children how to express themselves and address their feelings in a constructive way through storytime sessions games and activities. In addition Markedia teaches writing workshops and oversees essay contests for our CEO Superheroes Leadership Academy. Our skilled educators have tremendous success with neurodivergent youth who excel under our guidance defying all odds to author books and master S.T.E.A.M. instruction. Youth are introduced to opportunities in aviation led by 19 year old aircraft pilot Zaire Horton. We teach drone instruction to youth in Chicago Park District and other facilities with licensed drone pilot Derrick Washington who prepares 16 year old youth to secure their drone pilots licenses. Our Chief Operating Officer is Veronica Riley a corporate strategist educator & mother of six who also heads TSC Studios.Through collaboration with TSC Studios we are launching a televised series called Chi-Code Chronicles which is an educational action-adventure series for the targeted ages of 7-14 aired in 30-minute episodes which we are developing. The Tagline: "Power Up Your Mind with STEAM A+". Why this works: ? Blends real-world & animation seamlessly. ? Fast-paced funny engaging--kids learn without realizing it. ? Real Chicago locations make it immersive. ? Action-packed missions with real problem-solving. Logline: A brilliant team of young heroes--the CEO Superheroes--use the power of Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics and Aviation STEAM A+ to crack cryptic missions solve real-world problems and save youth from dangerous situations. As they navigate Chicagos cultural and scientific hubs like the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry they apply lessons from exhibits tech labs and historical sites to outthink their opponents and rewrite the future. Core Elements of the Show: 1. The Mission & The Mystery Each episode begins with an encrypted "Chi-Code Challenge"--a STEAM-based puzzle embedded in a real-world problem.? Use their unique STEAM skills to decode investigate and apply critical thinking.? Apply knowledge from exhibits museum camps and tech summits. In addition Veronica coordinates our CEO Superheroes Leadership Academy which provides support for youth to develop life skills self-mastery techniques and experiences in entrepreneurship. While youth learn to be baristas in Erins Cup a coffee shop started by a 17 year-old entrepreneur & mentor Khale Hunter they are also introduced to nutrition mental health and self-wellness concepts from Dr. Veronica Wimp our medical director and other mentors and educators. The youth receive instruction in the process of developing a business mindset financial literacy credit score protection strategies basics of money management budgeting critical thinking cryptocurrency business plan development marketing branding and social media management. In addition participants are introduced to techniques useful in conflict resolution healthy decision making lifemapping communication skill enhancement and networking with purpose. The youth who participate in this program are challenged to read specific books then interview and interact with the authors like Japanese author Takuan Amaru : https: youtu.be KGM3mmJoNNU?si=RaBi4_I3MM_Fia70. Youth throughout Illinois have attended our Family Tech Days where we create a fun environment for youth and their families to learn about and register for instruction in robotics 3D printing virtual augmented reality aviation and more S.T.E.A.M. related opportunities. https: youtu.be 4iH-KzLVe94?si=ffAom7sWfxk7zeDl We implement workshops and school events in conjunction with the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry and we sponsor family trips to the museum. Aurelius Raines a staff member of the museum serves as director of our technology strategies and bridges our collaborations. One of our goals is to help youth develop the skills to create games not just remain consumers of games. Our youth begin learning how to script and present their own podcasts beginning at age 7. https: youtu.be 4pA7XGB-QaM?si=KIEiJCjJNBz14lxw Having provided year-round golf instruction since 2018 we now have 25 young golfers from the ages of 6-18 who are competing throughout Illinois and around the country. Our golf instruction is provided by LPGA Teaching Professional Erika Birdie Shavers in conjunction with First Tee-Greater Chicago. https: africanamericangolfersdigest.com erika-birdie-shavers-elevating-womens-golf-instruction In addition our youth participate in workshops with LPGA professional Cheyenne Woods The Jackson Park Golf Association Bob-O- Links City of Chicago Park District Clinics Drive Chip & Putt DICOPI and other instructional and competitive experiences. Families have begun golfing together as a lifestyle. We host events that introduce communities to the tremendous social health and confidence building results of participating in golf. The peaceful atmosphere of the golf course provides an opportunity to escape the pollution and pressure of urban life. Conversations and fellowships are inspired leading to friendships beyond cultural divides. The ability to compete successfully empowers youth and their families to explore future business and scholarship opportunities.We introduce them to the educational paths for entering the multi-billion dollar golf industry. Our strategies normalize the world of golf for populations that are not yet represented in the industry. Healthy lifestyle goals are supported through development of golf skills for the entire family. https: youtu.be to1rL2Oph5M?si=yjAju_KDTOtQqAmv CEO Superhero team member Jocelyn Rials works in collaboration with Dr. Teresa Hill Superintendent of School District 151 and their School Board President Patrice Burton to empower the youth of the district. From strategic planning to implementation of a district wide S.T.E.A.M. curriculum and professional development our team is dedicated to the empowerment of the youth and families in this district. With 30% of the district population being Latino families we provide Spanish translation of printed information as well as provision of Spanish translators at events. Our newest collaboration is with Northwestern Universitys Natika Washington and her team Black Kids Predict. CEO Superheroes is adding the golf component to their strategies designed to invite youth into relationship with the opportunity to develop S.T.E.A.M. skills through sports. https: www.blackkidspredict.org Dionne Victoria-Brown Director of our CEO Superheroes S.T.E.A.M Academy & Andre Brown Director of our Bots & Tots Academy implement professional development strategies towards increasing our ability to recruit and train educators to implement our program instruction. This husband and wife team are at the center of The Healing Academy and the Art Center of Englewood. Their team brings the techniques of healing through art as well as the business of art to our youth and families. Our collaborations create and implement curriculum that empower youth with marketable skills that instill hope for a future beyond struggle. With the team we have assembled we are able to build bridges to opportunities for individuals to be mentored with specific strategies. For some youth our goal is to create a pathway from juvenile detention to reentry into the community with skills that will prevent them from committing acts of violence and self destruction and assist them in becoming responsible citizens with a bright future. We teach conflict resolution and critical thinking skills and create mentorship and skill development opportunities towards tangible future employment. For 17 years our team members Pastor Michael Robinson and his wife Attorney Chelsea Robinson have volunteered in the juvenile detention community bringing their concept of mentoring incarcerated youth through teaching them the strategies used in chess. This program called Pro-Vision is designed to develop relationships with the youth towards empowering them with critical thinking and conflict resolution skills then connecting them to instructional opportunities to prepare them for a future as responsible citizens who are able to lead productive and successful lives. Our youth are inspired in the pursuit of excellence to manifest the mindset of no excuses failure . |
