Summary:
|
The Engineering Program at Ygnacio Valley High School was awarded a Lemelson-MIT IventTeams grant, one of 8 schools nationwide. To earn the grant, students identified a real-world problem and proposed an invention that would be a solution to that problems. As a result, students are invited to present their invention at EurekaFest. To support YVHS's participation in EurekaFest, it is requesting approval for an educational field trip to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a side trip to New York City. The trip will take place from June 9 to June 15 and will involve 12 students and 2 teachers. The InvenTeam will participate in EurekaFest at MIT from June 9-11, followed by academic and historical-cultural exploration in New York City from June 12-15. This will include visits to NYU, Columbia University, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Bridge, and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.
This trip will provide students with exposure to pioneering STEM education, college readiness, and cultural enrichment, directly supporting the MDUSD Graduate Profile by fostering skills in communication, critical thinking, technology use, and global citizenship. CTEIG funds will be used to pay for airfare, up to $12,000. The remaining portion of the field trip will be funded through fundraising.
