The Bridge Golf Foundation

Our Student-Athlete for the month of April is Antonio Cortorreal. Here’s what our instructors had to say about his performance last month.

In our after school STEM lab, we're beginning to explore reference frames, the idea that we see motion differently depending on our vantage point.

The Bridge Golf Learning Center officially opened for business on Monday morning after three busy days of open houses. From Friday to Sunday, visitors got a chance to try out our TrackMan simulators, meet our staff, and learn about our Foundation. We had many Harlem families come by, and the simulator technology was a big hit […]

Donte Jones, an 8th grader in our after-school program at The Bridge Golf Foundation, was the student master of ceremonies on Friday morning at Soaring Beyond, The Eagle Academy Foundation’s fifth annual awards breakfast. In his talk, Donte took the packed room at Gotham Hall through his regular school day, which starts at his home […]

By Veeshan Narinesingh, STEM program leader Last Thursday, Dr. Jared Day, a postdoctoral scholar from the Laboratory for Nano and Micro Photonics at The City College of New York, paid our young men a special visit. Dr. Day researches nanoscale materials. At this level (100 to 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human […]

Our Student-Athlete for the month of March is Jaden Jackson. Here’s what our instructors had to say about his performance last month: Jaden has recently become one of the outstanding leaders in our program. It is apparent to his peers, as well as to the staff, that he is more focused and mature than when […]

By Veeshan Narinesingh, STEM program leader Last week our young men got a taste of how the technology in The Bridge Golf Learning Center will enhance their STEM learning experience. The students finished up the friction unit by performing a couple of experiments with rolling friction at The Learning Center. Students used stimpmeters to determine […]

Our young men got their first look at their new after-school home today. Great to see them get a chance to try out the TrackMan 4 simulators and all the other technology. Big things are happening in Harlem!  

By Veeshan Narinesingh, STEM program leader Every day our young men use mathematics to become better thinkers. In their STEM work at The Bridge Golf Foundation, our students often use concepts from algebra and statistics to solve problems and analyze their experimental data. Last week, our young men went outside to nearby St. Nicholas Park […]

By Reggie Mays Jr., program coordinator In Character Education, we push our young men to be positive, active members of their communities. This past week, our theme was “Neighborhood + Me,” and we explored our students’ definitions of “neighborhood” and the roles they play in the many communities they belong to. At first, their understanding […]

By Matt Matzelle, STEM teaching assistant Why are some greens “fast” and some “slow”? Golfers understand most of the factors that affect the speed of a ball’s roll — the length of the grass, the slope of the green, the firmness of the ground. But most golfers never think about friction, which our young men […]

Our Student-Athlete of the Month is Tariq Washington. Tariq’s dedication to bettering himself and his peers has been slow and steady, but it has not gone unnoticed. For quite some time, Tariq was able to get by on pure talent and intelligence, but he vastly improved this month because he realized he could do so much […]
