On Oct. 12, the Henry Cluster STEMM Foundation is sponsoring a workshop for all students interested in learning what some of our community colleges can offer in the way of resources and paths to degrees in a variety of subjects. The event is being held at the San Carlos Library 6–7 p.m. with the cooperation and support of David Ege, the branch manager of the library. The event will be held in the library parking lot and chairs will be provided.
Meet Outreach Ambassadors from Grossmont College and Mesa College and learn how to enroll in college classes and start earning credits toward your degree for free. Find out what academic social, leadership, and career opportunities the Grossmont-Cuyamaca and the San Diego Community College Districts offer to their students.
Representatives from each school will give short presentations and answer audience questions. This event will be held outdoors, so be sure to bring a sweater. Reservations are not required.

Robotics teams for schools and neighborhood teams will be starting up shortly. The Henry Cluster STEMM Foundation has a new committee: The Mission Trails Robotics Community (MTRC).
