Independent academic project created by Propel Andrew Street High School 11th grader Ally Angulo. The photo was taken on the roof of Andrew Street High School, in Munhall, PA. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, because it makes for an interesting picture!) it was incredibly windy on this wintry February day. What better to do on a snowy Friday than to climb on the roof of the school and take the mannequin, and her arms, for a photo shoot! |

This was one of the first Gigapans that we took during a field trip to the NorthSide of Pittsburgh with fellow Gigapaners. It was a wonderful experience to spend with other all over the world. |

One of my independent project groups learning how to use the GigaPan in the Munhall park. These students were trying to figure out how to be at one place in the photo and then be in another place. The students in this photo are all 9th and 10th graders at Propel Andrew Street High School, a project-based charter school in the Pittsburgh area. |

One week before world leaders converged on Pittsburgh to discuss the global economy, students from across the region held a summit to target issues important to them.
Sponsored by the World Affairs Council, the Pittsburgh G-20 Student Summit was held on Sept. 17 at Fox Chapel Area High School. More than 300 teens from 15 to 20 schools debated topics that range from policy-making to environmental concerns. One of the schools participating was Propel Andrew Street High School. Read more about Propel and how it is transforming schooling options in Southwestern Pennsylvania. http://www.g20pittsburghsummit.org/transformation-city/education-research/propel/ or by visiting their main site http://www.propelschools.org/home.aspx This event was so popular that its 500 slots were filled by students from about 30 school districts three days after it was announced. More than 1,500 other students participated via video conference or webcast. In addition, students in three countries -- Johannesburg, South Africa; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Milan, Italy, also participated via video conference. The 12 schools participating via video conference were able to both see and be seen, hear and be heard. Those using webcasts were able to send e-mails to ask questions. The program began with three keynote speakers: Steven Clemons, director, American Strategy Program and senior fellow, New America Foundation; Juan Delgado, chief economist, Spanish National Commission for Competition; and David Shorr, program officer, Stanley Foundation.
