Engineering : Project Lead the Way Career Edge Academy at Kirkwood Community College

Trish Reifenstahl, a student at Benton Community High School, Van Horne, Iowa, talks about her experiences in Project Lead the Way, a national cooperative effort to give middle and high school students the rigorous ground-level education they need to develop strong backgrounds in science and engineering. Eastern Iowa students can become a part of Project Lead the Way through Kirkwood Community College. You can find out more about this academy at http://www.kirkwood.edu/site/index.php?p=12729

Career Edge Academies are career-focused, college credit courses for high school students, available through Kirkwood Community College provided at no cost to students or parents. This program is funded by your school district. Targeted towards high school juniors and seniors, Career Edge Academies offer a hands-on way for young students to explore careers and experience college-level classes. Students earn dual credit, which means the classes not only fulfill their high school graduation requirements, they also count toward a future college degree. And, the credits transfer; students can choose to attend Kirkwood after high school, or another college. Because individual school districts pay for the classes, they are offered at no charge to students or their families. Learn more at http://www.kirkwood.edu/careeracademies
