WEBVTT - Made with VTT Creator 00:07.800 --> 00:09.600 It feels like every year our world takes 00:09.600 --> 00:11.700 leaps and bounds into the digital age. 00:11.800 --> 00:13.600 Technology companies continue to 00:13.600 --> 00:15.800 innovate to solve global problems and 00:15.800 --> 00:18.300 improve our daily lives. Innovation is 00:18.300 --> 00:21.400 the key to our global economy. So how do we prepare the 00:21.400 --> 00:24.800 next generation to face these challenges and 00:24.800 --> 00:28.300 to strive to solve these problems? Laney do you have any ideas 00:28.300 --> 00:31.600 Yeah, I have an idea. When a student 00:31.600 --> 00:33.100 takes interest in science, technology, 00:33.100 --> 00:35.800 engineering, and math curriculum. They'll 00:35.800 --> 00:37.200 learn that there are multiple ways to 00:37.200 --> 00:39.100 solve difficult problems. And that 00:39.100 --> 00:41.400 teamwork, and the inclusion of diverse 00:41.400 --> 00:43.100 perspectives can lead to breakthroughs. 00:43.100 --> 00:46.700 And ultimately that analytical studies 00:46.700 --> 00:48.800 like math and engineering can prove to 00:48.800 --> 00:51.300 be pretty creative outlets. Cape Henry 00:51.300 --> 00:53.000 is going to build a Center for Performing 00:53.000 --> 00:55.900 Arts and Innovation. Dr. Garran is going 00:55.900 --> 00:57.800 to explain how the new building will 00:57.800 --> 01:01.600 prepare the students for a new world. 01:01.800 --> 01:04.800 As we look to tomorrow, we realize it's time to 01:04.800 --> 01:07.500 be bold. It's time to provide 01:07.500 --> 01:09.600 transformational change to our campus. 01:10.200 --> 01:12.600 And to our students experiences. It's 01:12.600 --> 01:15.500 time to accelerate how we prepare our 01:15.500 --> 01:18.000 students for tomorrow, for the world to 01:18.000 --> 01:22.000 come. And so this summer, we begin 01:22.000 --> 01:23.800 demolition on the current Perry Auditorium 01:23.800 --> 01:26.600 and the northern hall of the Everett 01:26.600 --> 01:31.900 wing. In its space… Imagine a new 45,000- 01:31.900 --> 01:34.900 square-foot, state-of-the-art facility— 01:36.300 --> 01:38.700 Our Center for Innovation and the 01:38.700 --> 01:40.800 Performing Arts. It'll provide our 01:40.800 --> 01:43.200 students and community with a 450seat 01:43.200 --> 01:46.100 theater, professional stage, professional 01:46.100 --> 01:48.600 back-of-house spaces. Also within its 01:48.600 --> 01:51.100 walls, we'll tap into our creativity and 01:51.100 --> 01:53.200 imagination by creating our new 01:53.300 --> 01:56.300 Innovation Hub, a network of classrooms 01:56.500 --> 01:58.500 open and collaborative spaces for our 01:58.500 --> 02:01.400 students, and a story-and-a-half 02:01.400 --> 02:03.000 Fabrication Lab, in which our students 02:03.000 --> 02:06.300 will be able to build and construct. All 02:06.300 --> 02:08.100 will allow us to meet the needs of these 02:08.100 --> 02:12.000 growing programs and when the architects 02:12.100 --> 02:14.600 and the contractors are done, what really 02:14.600 --> 02:16.400 matters is what our students will be able 02:16.400 --> 02:18.800 to accomplish in these new spaces, in our 02:18.800 --> 02:21.000 new engineering lab, on the computers 02:21.200 --> 02:23.000 designing and modeling. Our students will 02:23.000 --> 02:24.900 be able to build and construct often to 02:24.900 --> 02:28.900 scale using wood, plastics, and metal. Going 02:28.900 --> 02:30.700 upstairs and delving into the world of 02:30.700 --> 02:33.800 computer science. Exploring game design 02:33.800 --> 02:35.700 and coding. The exciting new worlds of 02:36.100 --> 02:39.300 Artificial Intelligence and robotics. Also being able 02:39.300 --> 02:41.300 to collaborate together with peers on 02:41.300 --> 02:43.300 real-world problems, including local, 02:43.400 --> 02:45.000 real-world problems and opportunities, 02:45.100 --> 02:47.100 like sea-level rise and wind energy. 02:47.900 --> 02:49.100 Developing student leadership and 02:49.100 --> 02:51.000 exploring the power of entrepreneurship 02:51.000 --> 02:53.000 in our newly-expanded Nexus Center, where 02:53.000 --> 02:54.900 we will take the spirit and drive, that 02:54.900 --> 02:57.100 made us leaders and Global education and 02:57.100 --> 02:58.800 apply that to the areas of student 02:58.800 --> 03:01.400 leadership and entrepreneurship. And in 03:01.400 --> 03:03.600 our theater, our students will be able to 03:03.600 --> 03:05.400 enhance the technical side of our 03:05.400 --> 03:08.100 productions using sound, lighting 03:08.100 --> 03:10.600 engineering, building sets in our new 03:10.600 --> 03:13.900 scene construction shop. And also, we'll 03:13.900 --> 03:16.300 integrate projection technology into our 03:16.300 --> 03:18.800 productions, that will take our shows to 03:18.800 --> 03:21.600 an entirely different level. Students 03:21.600 --> 03:23.400 working in our catwalks, using our 03:23.400 --> 03:25.600 motorized lift system above our stage, a 03:25.600 --> 03:27.400 professional stage on which our dancers 03:27.400 --> 03:30.000 and musicians, and actors will look out 03:30.000 --> 03:32.000 at a 450-seat theater between the 03:32.000 --> 03:34.100 balcony and the orchestra. A space that's 03:34.100 --> 03:35.900 designed by the same theater and 03:36.100 --> 03:37.500 acoustical consultants who work on 03:37.500 --> 03:40.300 Broadway, ensuring that our students have 03:40.300 --> 03:44.600 quality spaces in which to perform. 03:44.600 --> 03:46.900 At Cape Henry, we're going to merge the 03:46.900 --> 03:49.000 worlds of technology, innovation, 03:49.200 --> 03:51.900 imagination, and creativity. We are going 03:51.900 --> 03:53.600 to build this space in which we can 03:53.600 --> 03:55.800 confidently prepare our students for 03:55.800 --> 03:58.800 their futures. The Center for Innovation 03:58.800 --> 04:00.900 Performing Arts will be transformational 04:01.400 --> 04:03.600 for our physical campus, but most 04:03.600 --> 04:08.000 important for our students. As involved 04:08.000 --> 04:09.800 and proud parents of the Cape Henry 04:09.800 --> 04:12.500 Collegiate Community, David And I, are 04:12.500 --> 04:15.100 honored to join George and Laney and the 04:15.100 --> 04:17.800 MEB family, to make the lead 04:17.800 --> 04:19.700 contribution of one-and-a-half million 04:19.700 --> 04:21.300 dollars towards this very important campaign. 04:21.300 --> 04:25.000 Addy, how can we ever thank you, 04:25.000 --> 04:27.400 David, George, and Laney for this 04:27.400 --> 04:30.300 incredible gift? It means more than I can 04:30.300 --> 04:33.700 fully express. This is the most ambitious 04:33.700 --> 04:36.200 project we've ever undertaken, but it's 04:36.200 --> 04:39.100 vital. It's vital for our School, for our 04:39.100 --> 04:42.900 programs, for our students. Someone will 04:42.900 --> 04:46.400 be contacting you—me, Chris Garran, a 04:46.400 --> 04:48.800 member of the Board of Trustees. We want 04:48.800 --> 04:50.600 to tell you more, we want to answer your 04:50.600 --> 04:53.700 questions, and we want you to be a part of 04:53.700 --> 04:56.700 this as well. Be a part of something 04:56.800 --> 04:59.300 really big and join us!
