Chamber Challenges SAMOHI Students

Over the past couple months, the Santa Monica Chamber has played a heightened role in supporting hundreds of students throughout the community. From the Employer & Student Expo on April 21 to the AP Challenge last week, local businesses, educators, and students have come face to face in a variety of meaningful ways.
 
The AP Challenge, partnered with the SMMUSD Education Foundation and Pugh + Scarpa Architects, called on Santa Monica High School students to create and market socially conscious programs with specific and measurable goals in mind. These projects were then presented to panels comprised of chamber leaders, governmental representatives, school administrators, and parents. AP English students designed a campaign to raise money for arts in education, while AP Chemistry students presented sustainable development plans for Bergamot Transit Village. A competition between two AP Chemistry classes, student presentations varied in implementation, but both included such topics as pedestrian friendly streets, water reclamation and reuse, natural resource conservation, renewable energy, and - of course - a healthy and vibrant local economy.
