Propel middle school teacher named Inventionland Institute’s Teacher of the Month
Inventionland Institute has honored Propel Braddock Hills Middle School science teacher Mayada Christiansen as its Teacher of the Month.
During her 12-week Inventionland Innovation course, students work in teams to brainstorm ideas and then develop prototypes.
“It’s an authentic and compelling experience because the ideas come from the students as a way to solve a problem they feel is important,” said Christiansen, who received her master’s in teaching through the Pittsburgh Urban Teaching Corps. The PUTC is a collaboration between Propel Schools and Chatham University.
Inventionland featured a profile of the Propel science teacher on its website.

Propel Northside beautification project set to begin week of Nov. 13
Propel Northside will begin a schoolwide beautification project Monday or Tuesday (Nov. 13-14) that will create an exciting environment for learning and growth. The project will be done in five phases and will take approximately 18 months to complete. The new features will include flooring, lighting and upgrades to the mechanical systems. Specialty classrooms such as maker space, art and music, as well as air conditioning, will also be added to the building.
Demolition and any work that creates noise will be done after school and overnight, and all abatement work will be followed with air quality testing. The work will be done floor by floor, and students will not have access to the work areas. Classrooms will be temporarily moved to the fifth floor as each floor is worked on.
