THE WORKSHOP PROJECT
We believe that every child has genius! Our middle school, after-school,
and summer camp programs help students discover, develop, and deepen
their personal genius.
Maker education helps students learn essential academic skills, professional
and technical competencies, and positive character traits. Workshop
Project programs challenge, engage, and inspire students and adults
to learn well and do good.
Next up in our Meet the Staff series is Muminah, aka Mrs. Rashid!
Muminah is our 8th Grade STEM educator. For almost 20 years, Muminah has led classrooms from first grade through high school. She believes that every child should have the opportunity to learn and grow at its own rate. And they can, she says, when we build a nurturing environment with the right tools to succeed.
Muminah graduated from the University of Southern California with a masters degree in the art of teaching; and a bachelor`s degree in Architectural Technology. Muminah is a mother to six super cool kids and wife to a phenomenal spouse. She loves skating to groovy tunes, skydiving, and she always has time for deep and meaningful conversations.
