The Critical Design and Gaming STEM Magnet (C:\DAGSM)

 

At the Critical Design and Gaming STEM Magnet (C:\DAGSM) we seek to educate and empower the teenagers of South Central Los Angeles to excel in high school through higher education and become transformative leaders of our local and global communities. We create fully-inclusive twenty-first century learning environment tailored for students growing up in a globally complex, information-rich, digital society which rewards resourcefulness, creativity, and innovation.

 

Our teachers utilize principles of gaming, game design, coding and computer programming. Students are challenged by objective based missions to collaboratively engage in purpose-driven learning. Outcomes call for authentic performances which demonstrate our student's genuine ability to link their knowledge and skills across various formats in blended classrooms. As a result of mastering such skills as systems-based analysis, planning, collaborative learning, conflict resolution, and the ethics of inclusive fair play, each and every one of our graduates will process the habit of mind, skills, and knowledge to incorporate their unique skills attributes into the fields of science, technology, engineering arts, art, and math. Together, they will work to transform any and all oppressive elements within our current reality into a more humane future society.
