Project-Based Learning was on display recently at Lee High School, with valuable assistance from our industry partner, Madera Works of Texas. Madera has been a consistently strong partner with HISD, developing curriculum for Mill and Cabinetmaking Technology and working closely the instructor, Johnny Brooks, to link real-world experiences and internships for his students. The company also sponsored externships for Linked Learning instructors over the summer to give the educators first-hand knowledge and experience in workplace for which they are preparing our students.

Freshmen from the Construction & Design Academy at Lee were asked to complete a project that involved cutting and assembling a door from diagram with very specific dimensions and finishing it off with a polished stain. This Linked Learning Project was coordinated with Carl Miller, Operations Manager for Madera Works. The students' ability to work together as a team, follow written instructions, and formulate a plan of execution , as well as their skill of execution were judged and recognized.
