BERLIN KIDS INTERNATIONAL School is an independent state-funded school, operated by the non-profit Pfefferwerk gGmbH. As these sources of income can not fully cover expenses, we seek corporate partners, private donors and public opinion leaders who will work with us to support the advancement of bi-lingual education in Berlin.

Donors
Bombardier generously donated 15.000€ in 2008 and 15.000€ in 2010 towards a computer lab at BERLIN KIDS INTERNATIONAL School, forming the basis for a projected media center. The donations included 24 Apple MacBooks, 2 iCart steel locked trolleys for the storage of the laptops, 2 Epsom beamers, 2 Wireless AirPort routers, 1 Apple MacBook for the lab teacher, 1 Kyocera Laser A45 B/W printer, 1 Konica Minolta Laser Colour A3 printer, 1 Mac Mini Server Core 2 Duo, Software (iWork, Deep Freeze, Apple Remote Desktop) and accessories (Cables etc).
For us, the ability to work with modern technology at a grade school level and integrate this knowledge into daily lessons promotes comprehension, concentration and creativity. An early acquaintance with computer and mass media technology furthers an independent and enlightened approach towards media and its role in daily life.
The first computer project undertaken at BERLIN KIDS INTERNATIONAL School involved short films related to a term project about trains. The pupils learned how to write a film plot, how to collect props and create background pictures, how to turn still photos into moving pictures and how to use text and sound in a film. The impressive results – MOVIES about ghosts and speeding trains, as well as trains in Africa, outer space and in the ocean – were shown at a special afternoon film screening that included the donor, parents and lots of popcorn. A hearty thanks to Bombardier!
