Vertically Aligned CCTE Program Alive in Point Loma

On January 16th the Point Loma Cluster conducted their first annual PL Cluster CCTE career fair. Students from the PLHS Engineering program organized an event at Dana designed to promote interest in the Engineering, Media Design, and Sports Medicine fields.

• Presenters from Qualcomm, Scripps, Society of Women Engineers, and PLHS (including the Kathy Schulze – PLHS Engineering and Design Teacher) constructed ten separate interest stations
• Dana students explored a variety of STEM careers/pathways as they rotated through the stations
• Children were rewarded with PLHS gear in a raffle and walked away from the event with a one page “cheat sheet” of CCTE elective options at Dana, Correia, and PLHS
• PLHS students from Anthony Palmiotto’s CCTE Media-Design program covered the event and are putting together an informational video to share with students, parents, and community members.
