Citizen Schools California's second annual A WOW! Affair brought together students, volunteers, and community members from across California to see and hear first-hand what apprentices have been working on and how Citizen Schools has impacted their lives.  Some of the apprenticeships were aviation with an actual flight simulator, robotics with demonstrations of robots the students built and programmed, and docent tours of Google.

Regional Mock Trial

During the semester students from Campbell, Kennedy, and MIT participated in law apprenticeships.  The culmination of their efforts was a regional Mock Trial at the Redwood City Courthouse.  For more information about this event, please read the San Francisco Daily Journal article.

Campus WOW!s

At the end of each semester, campuses present their apprenticeships in a campus-wide WOW!  Some of the highlights from last semester:

• Apprentices catered the Ben Franklin campus WOW!, preparing egg rolls, chicken wings, brownies, and even flan.
• The Legal Hustle Apprentices, who learned about positive rapping and ways to "make it" in the music industry, performed an original rap.
• Kennedy's campus WOW! had an amazing slideshow and gave students the opportunity to share their experiences during their apprenticeships.
• Students in the 8GA program at MIT presented their original mural that they painted during the semester.
• Apprentices at Campbell learned about the art of Capoeira and showcased their martial arts skills to songs performed by their Citizen Teacher.
• Monroe's campus WOW! highlighted their 8GA program by having a VIP couch on stage, reserved for 8GA only!
