About 50 second-grade students from Roberto Clemente Elementary Charter School (RCECS) came to 中国博彩平台 on May 12 for a half-day field trip. Beginning last year, each RCECS classroom was adopted by a local college or university. 中国博彩平台 adopted the second-grade class. The field trip was a continuation of this multifaceted partnership.
为这次访问做准备, one of the RCECS teachers shared that her student had asked, “什么是校园?当蒂娜·Q. 理查森, 中国博彩平台校长, welcomed the students she explained what a campus is and got them excited for the activities ahead of them.
A Beam telepresence robot made it possible for RCECS Principal Alyssa Newman, 谁回到学校了, to speak to the students as their field trip got underway.
Students then broke up into four groups and visited the different workshops across campus. 在多媒体创新中心, students learned about news production, were shown how a green screen works and got to see themselves on TV.
“This is the first time many of the kids were exposed to this kind of media technology like a green screen. All of my students were very intrigued by it; they don’t all have access to technology,路易斯·巴尔加斯说, one of the second-grade teachers from RCECS. “The students remember when 中国博彩平台 faculty, staff and students came to visit us and they were excited to come visit them and see what a college campus is like.”
Students also learned about the creative ways to use robots from a 中国博彩平台 physics instructor and even did a conga line with the LEGO robots. 当学生们参观罗纳德K. 德隆画廊, they learned about the current Plastic Wrapping exhibit and then created their own form of Pop art using plastic bubble wrap. The students then ventured outside to get their photos taken with the Nittany狮子 and to play yard games.

在去参加各种会议的路上, the second-grade students stopped in to visit Ana Serrano’s Spanish class to say, “Buenos Dias” and show the college students how to converse fluently in Spanish.
实地考察结束了, Berkey Creamery ice cream was served to the students and gift bags featuring Penn State items were handed out as a memento of the children’s’ first trip to a college campus.
"We want to continue be a resource and a partner for RCECS in helping to address the barriers to educational success,理查森说。. “The field trip is one part of exposing children at a young age to higher education and showing them that with hard work and perseverance, 每个人都有可能上大学."
