News 8 (WROC-TV) and 13WHAM News covered Monday’s STEM Day event on the Brighton Campus. The news media interviewed Dr. Javier Ayala, dean of career technical education, and high school students.

About 100 students from 10 Monroe County high schools participated in hands-on activities aimed at introducing them to professions in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and learned what education and training these careers require. Participating school districts are Churchville-Chili, East Irondequoit, Gates Chili, Greece, Pittsford, Rochester City, West Irondequoit and Wheatland-Chili.

STEM Day followed last week's panel discussion for female high school students at P-TECH Rochester. Panelists consisted of five women from Harris RF Communications who shared their work experiences in STEM careers. The group provided advice on workplace expectations, social media, and other areas that contribute to successful academic and professional careers. The event at the Edison campus was organized by Bill Rotenberg, MCC project director for P-TECH, in collaboration with Harris RF Communications.
