The Future Starts in the Chula Vista Elementary District with Michael Bruder

The Chula Vista Elementary District provides every student with career driven experiences at the 4, 5 and 6 grade. In this episode we chat with Michael Bruder in the Innovation Station which is housed in the public library, and offers students an engineering experience designed with Qualcomm. 

Michael and his team work with local industry partners to identify real world problems, and students are given the opportunity to tackle them using design thinking processes while learning more about their own strengths, interests and values. Place based learning allows students to tackle these challenges in spaces out in the community, traveling to the water treatment plant for the Hydro-Station, and the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center for their Health-Station. 

Chula Vista Elementary District has a powerful vision for this work, believing they have a responsibility to develop each child’s full potential, and these dynamic learning experiences allow students to explore their personal strengths and interests and connect them to related careers. Get an inside look at how CVESD tackles these topics and builds opportunities for students to engage in career readiness at the elementary level.
