What makes this work so powerful is that we have embarked upon these journeys in partnership with our community. It is inspiring to see what is possible when education, business, parents, universities, everyone in our community, come together to open up a whole new world of possibility for students. What will students look like and be able to do after a TK-12,14,16 experience that has immersed them in environments and situations that push us all (student and teacher alike) to work together to examine and solve problems relevant to our communities?
We are breaking new ground here in San Diego Unified and bringing to life programs and experiences the likes of which may not have been seen before, anywhere. This Fall students are experiencing STEAM at 28 schools across the district (and growing) and our business partners, BioLabs, LaunchBio, Institute of Americas / Qualcomm, Raytheon, SeaWorld, the USS Midway, and others are all ramping up to open up the world of work for students this school year. Companies like ECOLIFE are donating cutting edge technologies that are helping us transform learning spaces and inspire young learners.
In over 30 classrooms students can now wonder at aquaponics first hand while they investigate how technology and natural systems can work hand in hand to produce food. We have so much more to come.
