Fort Worth PMI Volunteers Help with Project Management Workshop at Lone Star Elementary in Keller
 |
Fort Worth PMI partnered with Lone Star Elementary School in Keller on November 22nd to provide specialized project management training for the campus' UCS leaders. Lone Star Elementary is one of only 14 schools in Texas with the Special Olympics Unified Champion Banner School (UCS) designation and the only elementary school to hold that honor. Unified Champion Schools is a program that promotes social inclusion of students with and without intellectual disabilities through sports, leadership, and engagement activities. The program aims to create school climates where all students feel welcome, respected, and challenged |
Teaching 4th graders about project management was rewarding! Their excitement and curiosity showed the value of sharing knowledge and nurturing young minds. This experience allowed me to give back to the community and strengthened my passion for project management. It was gratifying to see the students develop new skills and apply them in group projects, fostering a sense of achievement and collaboration.”
-- Dionne Beer, FWPMI volunteer
On November 22 I had the opportunity to volunteer for for an event conducted by Fort Worth PMI and Special Olympics. In that event 4th grade Students from Lone Star Elementary were divided into 4 groups with the challenge to build a City using recyclable material. We provided them with requirements, challenge, and time constraint for each task. They really did well and came up with innovative ideas for the challenge. Events like this really improve students thinking abilities.”

"It was an honor to work with NextGen students on their classroom project. It is a great idea to teach them about project management starting at an early age. They are on the path of becoming future leaders.”
-- Ben Gonzales, FWPMI volunteer
I love this activity that allows students with and without intellectual disabilities to work together as a team to solve a challenge. The best part is seeing the students helping and encouraging their team members. These kids are our future leaders!

Academic Outreach Team
This team strives to advance the profession and practice of project management by developing relationships with local academic institutions (middle school, high school, colleges and universities). They create awareness of PMI Education Foundation and academic standards and work with these institutions to create demand for project management programs, clubs and curricula.
Do you remember being a student? If you could go back and give your young self the project management skills you have today, how would your personal and academic life have been different? Or consider this: How much more could your favorite charity accomplish if it applied project management principles? And what is the likelihood that project management tools could impact the future of classroom learning and nonprofit success?
It’s not only possible, it’s happening!
