Olimpico Learning will bring together Mountain View to inspire students in the innovative, technology centric pipeline project — Build Your Vision. Alta Vista high school students will learn 3D printing to develop a prototype for cost-effective prescription eyeglass frames. Through this social justice project, Olimpico Learning and Alta Vista will partner with local schools, non-profits and the optical industry to provide feedback on our critically needed, cost-effective frame prototypes for low-income students and adults -essential as proper visual acuity is necessary for effective participation in school and day-to-day activities. Alta Vista students in the Olimpico Leadership Academy will also work as peer-mentors to 250 K-5 students in Olimpico summer camps in Mountain View, and will interact with, and gain inspiration from technology and optical industry volunteer role-models. We will promote STEAM to Mountain View’s future community leaders using 3D printing technology in Build Your Vision, to create a pay-it-forward mentality in our youth.This file file serves as your book’s preface, a great place to describe your book’s content and ideas.GitBook allows you to organize your book into chapters, each chapter is stored in a separate file like this one.
