On May 02, 2024, Our Migrant students had the opportunity to experience a College & Career Exploration Camp through the College 1st Program.

The College 1st Program:

1. Promotes the importance of completing a post-secondary education.

2. Brings awareness of fast growing Science Technology, Engineering and Math (STEAM) career opportunities by implementing academic enrichment, hands on experiences, and mentorship experiences.

3. Defines and puts into practice the essential 21st Century Skills for students to achieve college, career, and life success.

The camp was held at Rio Hondo Middle School for the secondary students and Rio Hondo Elementary for the elementary students. During this time, students were able to learn about Drones and Rovers and the various ways they are used in the workforce. They were also able to engage in hands on STEAM activities such as designing and building their own rover, presenting to their peers, and learning to fly a drone.

As you can see by the video and pictures below, the students learned a lot and had a wonderful time.
