For the first time ever, Vista Unified School District is combining its popular CTE Showcase and STEM Fest into one event - The STEM2Career Expo, which will be held at Vista High School on Wednesday, March 26 from 5 - 7 p.m. Student projects and demos include virtual welding stations, a cooking demo, a catapult challenge, photo portrait station, more. CTE teachers from Vista High, Rancho Buena Vista, and Mission Vista will be on hand to speak to visitors and give further information about the curriculum. A special element of the CTE showcase is that many of the businesses that have provided VUSD students with internship opportunities will be present. These include Sea Spine, The Vista Chamber of Commerce, Vista Firefighters, Mathnasium, VPSD Media, Balfour Beatty, Vista Community Clinic, Electrical Training Institute, and more. The decision to merge the two shows into one larger event provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the breadth and depth of what a unified school district can achieve, aided by a large array of student demonstrations. The STEM2Career Expo will be held at Vista High School’s gymnasium, the outside quad area, and in several classrooms.
