S.M.A.R.T. EDUCATION ON LONG ISLAND

The Long Island Works Coalition, Junior Achievement of New York and Motorola, Inc. are partnering to bring the 2008 Science, Math, Art, Reading & Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) Expo to middle school students on Long Island.  The Long Island S.M.A.R.T. Expo will be held on March 27, 2008 at the Huntington Hilton.

More than 400 Long Island middle school students will spend the day visiting 20 interactive, hands-on S.M.A.R.T. booths hosted by 20 Long Island companies.   Students will be inspired to explore and develop critical thinking and creative problem solving skills using the five S.M.A.R.T. disciplines of Science, Math, Art, Reading and Technology.  The S.M.A.R.T. Expo also helps young people gain insight into what it takes to succeed in the workplace by teaching them how to interact and communicate with others.  

“The S.M.A.R.T. Expo exposes students to career paths they may not be familiar with, such as computer programming, and in doing so opens their eyes to the opportunities available to them," said Douglas E. Schallau, president of JANY.
