8th graders visits Cal Tech.
Reflection provided by 8th grade Advisor Jessica Evangelista -
Our group of 80 was broken up into 3 groups and we got a tour of the campus. They talked about Caltech's history of pranks, we toured dorm rooms, we heard some founder history, toured a lab, and talked to many students on campus. We then did a scavenger hunt around campus which encouraged our students to interact with College students on campus. The scavenger hunt asked them to find people like an international student, a freshman, and a east coast student.

We wanted to tour a college campus to get exposure to a goal that many of our students share. We are working on science fair projects that had to do with some studies at Caltech. We also did some labs and the students asked if people do this kind of stuff on a regular basis so I showed then that ya, people do this on a regular basis.
The purpose of the trip was to help students develop some perspective on college. We wanted them to see college is challenging, fun and an experience to remember.
