San Jose State University hosts MAES National for Leadership Academy
This Fall, San Jose State University had the opportunity to host the MAES Leadership Academy from September 28th to September 30th. Our Science Extravaganza President, Cathy Hernandez, had the ability to utilize her experience, in STEAM outreach, to demonstrate how she plans to run a successful Science Extravaganza 25th anniversary event in the Spring. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to host the MAES Leadership Academy and we’ll be there next year at the University of Texas El Paso.
