Milwaukee, WI
Siloah Lutheran School

The team’s innovative teaching idea, “Connections: City and Tech,” focuses on studying Milwaukee’s community through projects related to technology. Students will create iBooks about Milwaukee and digital music showcasing the city’s culture. Additional content, such as videos, blogs and podcasts, will be shared with students at other local city schools. By helping students develop skills in technology and using the city to showcase their talent, Anthony and his team aim to foster community pride and self-confidence in their students. Siloah Lutheran services the poorest neighborhood in Milwaukee and the most incarcerated zip code in the nation, so the team is optimistic that this project will set students on the right path and give them hope for a brighter future.
