Approximately 60 high school students attended a recent summer day camp focusing on providing information regarding jobs and hands-on skills related to construction, engineering, and manufacturing. The free camp had students participating in a “nail-off” competition, building sheds and bird houses. They also visited Lawrence Livermore Lab, SunPower in Milpitas, the USS-POSCO Manufacturing & Engineering Plant in Pittsburg and a carpenters' apprenticeship training center in Dublin. The camp was sponsored by the state, the County Education Office, Chevron, the Contra Costa Economic Partnership and Diablo Valley College, among others, and taught by local K-12 and community college instructors and community members; students received one unit of college credit for attending. http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_18343385?nclick_check=1
