CSU to create an immersive tech hub to recruit Latinos, others into STEM fields
A $50-million technology hub will rise in a parking lot at Cal State Northridge with the goal of dazzling college, high school and middle school students with an immersive experience that shows off the possibilities of STEM studies and careers. “It’s almost like the building will come to life with a mobile device in hand,” said Amanda Quintero, special assistant to the Cal State Northridge president for inclusive excellence. “It has the opportunity to really unleash the talent that exists in every household throughout California and beyond, and I’m hopeful it will inspire more students, especially Latinx students, to consider a career in the STEM fields,” Cal State Chancellor Joseph I. Castro told The Times. Cal State Northridge was selected to house the project because it has the longest track record of serving Latino students within the university system.
