Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
By bringing a spoken word artist to Rochester, the grant is providing access to the arts to more Minnesotans. Providing an arts experience to Somali youth addresses the statewide objective to build relationships with underserved groups. We plan to videotape the performance and will gather written feedback on the residency experience from our students.
Measurable Outcome(s)
It was one afternoon. A three hour poetry slam competition that involved the entire STEM student body and staff. There were also performances at Mayo High, Century High, Peace Plaza, Golden Valley Country Club and Saint Paul High, totaling an additional 3 hours.
