Orange County students are invited to meet educator and commercial space traveler Aymette Medina Jorge and explore hands-on STEAM activities at STEAM Race to Space Day on Sept. 19. The free event will kick off the annual STEAM Race to Space Reading Challenge, which uses books, real-world experiences and student incentives to encourage reading and STEAM exploration.
Back-to-school excitement is on full display across Orange County, as schools share spirited first-day celebrations and campus traditions through social media posts.
The OC Pathways Student Leadership Summit brought nearly 100 Orange County students together to connect with STEM professionals, learn from program alumni and build skills for future careers and leadership.
Students across Orange County will begin returning to classrooms as soon as Aug. 6, starting with the Anaheim Elementary and Cypress school districts. Other OC campuses will reopen throughout August and into early September.
