Abstract
Blackburn Alternative High School, an Omaha Public Schools program, in conjunction with Creighton University, the Blacksmith Shop, and a grant from the Sherwood foundation has developed a service learning program for at-risk high school students. The original project goal was to engage the students in experiential education that crosses the science and art curriculums. We have expanded our Forge Ahead method of technique based projects and reflection to be used in all our classes.
