The Clear Creek Education Foundation presented Bayside Intermediate principal Jamey Majewski a check for $72,832 to fully fund the Bayside Career Exploration Technology Lab. Foundation board members, CCISD Superintendent Dr. Greg Smith, Deputy Superintendent Dr. Steve Ebell, members from Space Center Rotary and Ruth Rendon with BP Texas City were on hand to tour the latest lab funded by the foundation in CCISD middle schools. The Bayside lab was funded through generous donations from BP Texas City and Space Center Rotary.
The CCISD Career Exploration Technology Labs have curriculum infused with math, science, and technology, and includes hands-on activities. Each lab has up to 12 work stations that can accommodate 2 to 3 students at one time. Students are "energized" by the depth of their experiences and praise the programs for giving hands-on, up-front career experiences. The labs are made up of up to 12 to 15 educational modules. Each year, more than 900 students are served by these labs per campus.
