DVIA Students Help Design Endeavour Home
DVIA 8th graders Isaiah and Guillermo are members of the Youth Advisory Committee, tasked with developing an exhibit concept for the space shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center. The committee is made up of students from the Da Vinci Schools and Dana Middle School (pictured right).
Science Center staff members were very impressed by our students' ideas. At the next meeting, students will be testing prototype exhibits based on feedback and design suggestions they provided. Isaiah and Guillermo are a testament to the innovation, problem-solving, communication and presentation skills all our students learn and practice every day at school.
For more information on the Endeavour exhibit, click here.

Last Wednesday, Da Vinci Schools Executive Director, Matt Wunder, held a joint Da Vinci Family Association Meeting where he shared important information about Da Vinci Schools, the Local Control Funding Formula and the Local Control & Accountability Plan. The slides from Matt's program are here. Spoiler alert! The slides have some really cool renderings of the new high school campus.
