Future Innovators Start Right Here π€π
Quest for Success students stepped into the Robotics class and Advanced Manufacturing Lab at Booker T. Washington β and the room lit up with possibility.
In just one visit, they coded robots, explored high-tech equipment, and saw how ideas turn into real-world creations. More than a tour, it was a moment of discovery β the kind that shifts mindsets and sparks new ambitions.
When students connect learning to their future, the pathway gets clearer. And through our STEM Pathways program, that pathway becomes real β guided, supported, and built for their success. π§π‘β¨
