Your future surgeon could be one of these local high school students |
|
Your surgeon of tomorrow could be a high school student today. Twenty-four students with an interest in medicine are going through a two-week Summer Surgery Program at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange. The program, started seven years ago by Dr. Jaime Landman, brings in students to learn and practice surgical skills such as suturing wounds, taking needle biopsies and using minimally invasive devices including the da Vinci robot.

Young girls today, potential business leaders tomorrow |
|
They can’t drive or vote yet — and it’s likely they only shop with their parents close by — but a group of fourth- to sixth-grade girls laid the foundation to be the entrepreneurs and business women of tomorrow. Girls Inc. of Orange County put on the Smart Ups Business Showcase at Chapman University, Tuesday, July 30, to teach girls all aspects of starting a business and running a mini-society, including electing leaders.

San Diego Unified board pushes for a way to remove school board members |
|
The San Diego Unified School Board approved a resolution Tuesday urging city officials to advance a proposal that would let the board initiate special removal elections for school board members. The city’s Rules Committee will discuss whether to forward the proposal to the city council at its meeting Wednesday at 2 p.m. in the city administration building. Four of the five school board members in April had called for board member Kevin Beiser to resign amid allegations from four men in politics that he sexually harassed or assaulted them.

At a summer camp where community comes first, STEM education thrives |
|
Sometimes engaging students in math and science means hands-on experiments and projects. Other times, it simply means asking how they’re doing that day.
At SMASH Academy, it’s both. Here, high school students participate in five weeks of science, math, engineering and technology (STEM) lessons. They live on a college campus and in the evenings have opportunities to meet with mentors and professionals in a variety of science and technology careers. Then they come back and repeat the process for two more summers and once a month on Saturdays throughout the school year.

For Latino School Kids, Racial Segregation Is Getting Worse. But Economic Integration Is Rising |
|
Latino students in California public schools are more racially isolated from their white peers than in any other state — academics have known this for years. And a new study released Tuesday shows the problem is not getting better. In fact, the study, which focused on Latino students in the nation's elementary schools, found racial segregation is "intensifying" for these children, both in Southern California and nationwide.
