Kinloch Park Middle School students try out the new Veative VR devices.Kinloch Park is one of 16 Miami-Dade public middle schools having its media centers transformed into enriched innovation spaces through a $2 million partnership between Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the College Football Playoff Foundation and the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship Game Host Committee (CFPNCG).

The partners will continue to unveil new projects throughout the year in support of the District’s Middle School Redesign (MSR) initiative, intended to meet the unique social, emotional and academic needs of teachers and their students.

“It’s very exciting,” 8th-grader Mariana Peñaloza Alba said about the novel media center. “I immediately felt comfortable walking into the space and felt as though it provides an opportunity for students and teachers to communicate and have fun learning experiences.”
