Coool Summer Award Ceremony

 As’salamu Alaikum – 

Just after the Eid celebration last week, it’s time for us to celebrate yet another well-deserved cool event – the successful completion of our 6th annual COOOL Summer Program, it has been a truly remarkable and meaningful journey for each of us.

Unlike the last 5 years, the program this year connected our students and families across the state - from North Carolina to New York. The hands-on experiences our students had gained during the last 4 weeks covered a wide array of topics including Web Development, Computer Gaming Design, Data Science & Analytics, College/Career Prep, and Scientific Research all blended with an Islamic perspective. With the successful completion of our four weeks class, our high school students are now ready to start their journey for a merit based scientific research program with a Paid Internship Opportunity - it’s a testament to the commitment, passion, dedication and selflessness that our leadership put forth together when they paved the way to COOOL Summer School six years ago. 

Alhamdulillah, we are inspired by the talent, skill, ingenuity and leadership demonstrated by our students. We learned a great deal from each other that will help advance our continued growth and success in the future, in sha Allah. Because of your continued support, we champion the promise of a brighter tomorrow; we are better equipped to empower our youths with tools and a platform they need to serve, lead, shine, and excel. When our spirit, commitment, and consistency come together the success is imminent and we are the top achievers irrespective of our grade or recognition.

  

We would like to sincerely thank all the students, instructors, panelists, admins, and family members for being tremendously supportive and instrumental to make Coool Summer Program-2020 a great success.

  

We look forward to seeing everyone at future events, in sha Allah.… but until then with smile, joy, and unshakeable spirit let’s carry on the Coool motto, "Keep COOOL and Do STEAM".

  

May Allah (SWT) accept our efforts, forgive our shortcomings, grant us success, and give us the best in this world and the next.

Mental Health 101

The brain is an organ in the body that sometimes malfunctions just like other organs such as the kidney or the heart. This class is an intro to mental health. Recovery is possible and often people do not understand this. We will talk about various forms of mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, psychosis and addiction and when one should seek help. This class will help decrease apprehension about reaching out to help others or getting help yourself. This class will also share information on resources available here in the community.

This event will be held online on August 26. For more information and registration go to:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mental-health-101-tickets-114588772102?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch
