Fontana Unified to Showcase Student Projects, Innovation Through Future Shapers Academy
WHAT: Fontana Unified School District will display the creative and innovative projects developed by more than 30 students enrolled in the District’s Future Shapers Academy (FSA). The event will serve as a celebration of FSA, which is wrapping up its inaugural year, and provide employers with an opportunity to learn about these ideas firsthand and explore opportunities to collaborate for the benefit of Fontana’s entertainment and recreation industry.
FSA students have been tasked with designing an entertainment center this school year, incorporating a series of smaller design challenges that contribute to the larger project. Local industry leaders, including the city of Fontana, have served as master class instructors in FSA, guiding and mentoring students through skill-attainment projects.
