There’s No Place Like the Stage for Think Together Students

Students from three school sites in Baldwin Park Unified School District performed two shows at the Baldwin Park Performing Arts Center, marking a first-of-its-kind experience that immersed them in a professional theater setting.

The performances were brought to life through Think Together’s enrichment accelerator partnership with Arts & Learning Conservatory (ALC), a nonprofit that delivers in-school programs advancing performing arts education across Southern California.

Think Together Students Explore Science in Action at Main Event

For Think Summer 2025, students from Azusa Unified School District got a one-of-a-kind STEM experience during a field trip to the Main Event STEM Academy. 

As part of their visit, students rotated through two interactive labs that made science and math come to life through culinary aspects and game engineering. 

Gamifying Mindfulness Through Physical Activity

Think Together is proud to shine a light on how its expanded learning programs foster students’ development, problem-solving skills and collaboration through engagement in sports and play-based activities.
