Knowledge is Power!
Students from Brightwood Elementary School in Monterey Park and Ann Street Elementary School in Los Angeles participated in the event, designed to spark students’ interest in science and technology. The program was put on by IBM and JPL’s office of Minority Education Initiatives as part of IBM’s fifth annual La Familia Technology Week.
Lorraine Melendez, co-chair of the Hispanic Diversity Network Group at IBM, said the La Familia activities were created in the hope of exposing more Latino children and families to the importance of science, technology and computers. The program has evolved over the years to include additional emphasis on the variety of careers children can pursue with the proper math and science education, she said.
