Four youth and two adults attended the UC! It was a fabulous experience and a chance to take classes, present, and network with professionals both in the educational and professional world!

While there we met with Gustavo Moreira. He invited us to come to Santiago to collaborate with a local high school on a community project!

We are still in the planning phase for the project and the trip, but will fill in the details as we know them!
