Girls that code
The gender gap in computing is getting worse.
In 1995, 37% of computer scientists were women. Today, it’s only 24%. The percent will continue to decline if we do nothing. We know that the biggest drop off of girls in computer science is between the ages of 13 and 17.
Girls Who Code is changing the game
We're reaching girls around the world and are on track to close the gender gap in new entry-level tech jobs by 2030.
Girls inc.

MITB
Music and the Brain program transforms our kindergarten, first and second graders. We're not just learning piano. We're building foundational music skills, improving focus and fine motor skills, and even boosting language and literacy! I've seen firsthand how our diverse students develop perseverance and grit as they tackle challenges and celebrate their musical wins. We also learn to sing using solfege to develop our vocal skills. It's truly incredible how music impacts every part of their learning!

At PS151K, the music class is more than just a lesson—it's a journey through sound, rhythm, and self-expression.Starting in third and fourth grade, students begin their instrumental training, learning the recorder, ukulele, and bucket drumming. Fourth graders have the exceptional opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra at Carnegie Hall!In fifth grade, students transition to a modern band setting, choosing instruments like guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and vocals to form their own ensembles.Music education at PS151K does more than teach notes; it cultivates essential life skills. Students develop listening, memory, motor coordination, creativity, self-expression, teamwork, and problem-solving—all while making music.

Athletics
Hello! I am Mr. O’Kelly, the physical education teacher here at PS 151K. In physical education class, students are taught important physical skills that will help them excel in sports and other physical activities. Students work on locomotor skills such as jumping, skipping, running and shuffling. They work on sport related skills such as throwing, kicking and striking a ball towards a target. Students also learn about the five fitness components (flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance and body composition). We make connections of how being physically active and having a well balanced diet helps lead to a healthy lifestyle. I want to create a safe and fun learning environment in the gym so that students truly enjoy sports and stay active throughout their life.
