Project teams from all across San Diego Unified attended the CCTE Showcase on May 22 to exhibit the inspiring work produced throughout the year as part of an interdisciplinary team or in one of their CTE classes.
In total, there were 35 student project teams sharing their learning with the public and the CCTE Showcase Judges. Throughout the evening, as teams presented, attendees were able to sample foods prepared by CCTE’s culinary programs.
While all of the teams could be classified as winners because of all of the amazing work they put into their projects, some were recognized with awards.
