Recently, APA Elementary students (In person and on-line cadets) participated in the exploration of STEM and STEM related careers through our community partnership with Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech brought their traveling STEM lab to our elementary playground and each student had the opportunity to take a class with the Ivy Tech instructors throughout the week. Lots of learning and exploration occurred. See more photos here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cl0ZsWku3hsIzm-8OvxORasftBOiBHju #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight

The JA JobSpark initiative includes in-class curriculum and activities prior to and after attending the event. JA JobSpark is meant to “spark” an interest in students and get them excited for their future. Students will learn about skills needed for jobs that will be in demand when they graduate and will learn about the equipment that is used on those jobs daily. Students will have a better understanding of the courses they will need to take in high school, a track for post-secondary and a clear career pathway for what they find they are interested in. #JetPride #AllSystemsCheck #MakeYourDreamsTakeFlight
