College Summit APP-A-THON

\n2nd Floor Corridor<\/p>\n
WHAT IS AN APP-A-THON?
\nCollege Summit unleashes the power of low-income high school students to be change-makers for themselves, their schools and communities. Creating one of the largest student-led trainings of educators in America, College Summit App-a-thons provide a platform for these high schoolers to introduce educators and counselors to the next generation of college access and success tools.<\/p>\n
Pioneered with College Summit students and the Los Angeles Unified School District, the App-a-thon format places local educators shoulder-to-shoulder with students who train them how to use newly launched mobile and web apps. These apps make the college-going process more transparent, collaborative and easy to navigate for low-income and first generation students and their families.<\/p>\n
What will the day look like?
\nSimilar to a trade show, students will represent one of 10 apps from 12:30pm \u2013 2:30pm. Walk around the room and learn about setting goals via WOOP or how a first generation student can go to college via imfirst.org. You can even learn about the basics of college-going in a game of \u201cZombie College.\u201d<\/p>\n
