iLEAD Antelope Valley Studio DreamUp Design Challenge 2022-23

Through the iLEAD Antelope Valley Studio DreamUp to Space Mission 2022-23 Experiment Design Challenge, iLEAD Antelope Valley Studio learners have been busy designing experiments that could be selected to be conducted on the International Space Station. During the final phase, our finalist teams created short videos pitching their ideas and the plans they developed for how, in the event that their experiment is chosen, they will use the opportunity for their school site and community outreach. Learners were required to include subject matter experts to support their experiment designs. A panel of science and space experts is reviewing their proposals and videos. The top team will have their experiment flown and conducted on the International Space Stations, targeted for May 2023.

Congratulations and best wishes to this year’s iLEAD Antelope Valley Studio DreamUp to Space Mission 2022-23 Experiment Design Challenge finalists!

Happy National School Choice Week!

January 22-28 is National School Choice Week, a time to celebrate the fact that families get to choose the learning experience that best serves their children.

What is school choice? School choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some children might succeed at the neighborhood public school, while others might fit in better at a charter, magnet, online, private or home learning environment. That’s why school choice is so important! These options include all forms of education, from traditional public schools, to public charter schools, public magnet schools, private schools, online academies, and homeschooling.

Every child deserves an effective, challenging, and motivating education. And, because each student has their own unique set of talents, interests, and challenges, having a variety of options in education is crucial. What works well for one child may not work well for another child! In short, school choice ensures that each student can find a learning environment that allows them to be inspired, successful, and happy.

National School Choice Week

Thank you for choosing iLEAD Antelope Valley to be such an important part of your life! Happy National School Choice Week!
