EAFH-18: 5 Saturdays 2019 STEAM Program Update – KVOI 1030 AM, the Creative Morning Radio Show
Zach: 5 Saturdays is a summer workshop that provides high school students with learning experiences in entrepreneurship, agile software development, job readiness, and agile life skills. This is an important program for workforce readiness. I am excited about talking about our 13 to 19-year high school student population in Tucson, AZ to enable workforce readiness. I saw some pictures and you had the crème de la crème of Tucson entrepreneur community attending the 5 Saturdays Award Saturday event at the University of Arizona.
Dr. Dave: 22 students registered for the 5 Saturdays STEAM 2019 program in Tucson. We were running the program in three (3) locations, which included Costa Mesa and Whittier CA, and Tucson AZ.
