How Did The Students Plan It? Students developed a career fair mission statement. The conference, by students and for all, is committed to: Fostering a better understanding of how students use technology and to engage students, teachers and administrators in a conversation about STEAM career paths.

Assisting teachers and administrators in understanding how students use technology both in and out of the classroom.

Strengthening the relationship between students, teachers, and administrators about technology in the classroom.

The students will start an https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/steam-career-fair/x/ 8257024 campaign to fund the conference infrastructure. The campaign will fund a series of career fair events to create a https://www.youtube.com/user/ipatriotsorg/ videos channel as well provide student participants with media credits.

SCF provides an opportunity for students to both collaborate with each other and to connect with subject experts in STEAM education from a diverse point of view.. Using forums such as social media week, educators can develop and implement unique learning and leadership opportunities for students to achieve mass penetration in inner city class rooms around the country.

To Change Lives !

We are looking for people, companies and organizations that want to make a difference and want to grow their interests among this very important demographic.

There are many ways in which this initiative can be supported: • Monetary support • Donation of equipment • Commitment of people who are interested in speaking to or mentoring students • Internship/training opportunities

While we appreciate any and all contributions, we are looking to establish longer term partnerships.

The Initiative For many students, the future is something that happens to them.

Dakar (a 5013C non profit) is working with Compton Unified School District to provide resources to these students so that they can begin to see, not only the possibilities, but the path they need to take to get there.

Success Internships Mentors Resources

While resources are an immediate concern, role models, mentors and opportunities through internships are critical to ensure success.

Background

81% students are Hispanic/18% are African American 50% of the students have parents who never graduated from high school.

32% of the students have parents who graduated only from high school.

Compton High School is located in the under-served community of Compton, CA.

The concentration of students who could benefit from your time and presence is much higher than many other high schools.

Percentages do not total 100% because some attended some college.

The road less traveled.

This must change.
