Experiential Learning and Career Exploration

Urban Bridge Builders Camp was designed to address two critical challenges facing minority students in Los Angeles Schools. The program works to 1) improve African American and Latino students’ academic performance in science and math and 2) increase African American and Latino students’ low levels of participation in STEM careers.
