Hi all,
Just a reminder to let high school students / young adults, teachers, parents, and administrators know about Laney's great summer opportunities. Details are below and applications are available for the high school programs at http://Laney.edu/summer. 

For those specifically interested in manufacturing, the iDesign-MFG program, or the Electric Bike would be good programs to consider. But there are others from computer science, to culinary, to music.

And this is not just for Oakland students, we have students come from throughout the East Bay (and SF).

Regards,
Mark

Note: While we’re looking for high school students to enroll into these programs, we also want young adults to check them out as well.
