We seek to engage degree-holders, youth, families and retirees by offering options designed for them that are not currently offered by credit-bearing classes,&#8221; said Lorenz.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Programs serving children and teens are of special interest, as they offer what is often the students&#8217; first visit to a college campus. Connecting youth to programs on a college campus can be a key first step in creating a pathway to college.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;We recently started &#8216;Experimental College&#8217; for youth, where we offer STEAM classes for middle and high school students. Classes include coding and robotics, Girls Who Math and MatLab. And for the past 30 years, we have offered &#8216;College for Kids,&#8217; a summer program for kids entering grades 4 &#8211; 9,&#8221; said Lorenz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;We have top faculty, unique offerings, state-of-the-art facilities and resources. We provide a long and strong thread from youth programs to degree programs to career programs. Many College for Kids students have been with DVC from the age of 9 to 21. There aren&#8217;t many other community programs that have similar success,&#8221; said Lorenz.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">How to enroll<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">DVC Community Education class fees range from $10 to $150. Classes are offered year-round, and may be scheduled during the week, a weeknight or a weekend depending on the class.

Classes include a variety of math, writing and art topics, along with more recent options in science and technology, including coding and robotics, crime scene investigation, environmental science, 3D computer modeling and printing, chemistry, physics and MakerSpace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;My goal is to create summer classes that highlight what DVC has to offer any future college students.

Students are exposed to activities that enable them to explore careers while accessing software and equipment that are rarely offered in their own school.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;CFK provides kids an entry to college life and learning. For most of our students, College for Kids is the first time they have ever stepped onto a college campus,&#8221; said Lorenz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;It is hard to find anyone in the nearby area who has not been touched by College for Kids, or who doesn&#8217;t have friends whose children benefited from it. I know parents who were CFK students who now send their own children to the program. And many of these kids have come back to the campus as DVC college students. In fact, some of the instructors in our program were actually CFK participants themselves. What an amazing legacy!&#8221; said Lorenz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">College for Kids begins in mid-June and concludes at the end of July. Classes are scheduled between 12:50 pm and 4:10 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, enabling students to have 4-day weekends all summer. The cost for each class ranges from $70 to $150 depending on the subject. Registration begins in April, and is available online, by phone or in-person on the DVC Pleasant Hill campus.

I started taking film classes in my junior year and I fell in love with it,&#8221; said Lacuesta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Lacuesta completed his associate in arts in film at DVC while also working in career-related jobs and internships, and then transferred to UC Davis to earn his bachelor&#8217;s degree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;I am double-majoring in cinema digital media and communication with an emphasis on information communication technology. I will finish this year but will go to grad school to obtain a Ph.D in film and media,&#8221; said Lacuesta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Lacuesta has also returned to give back to the program that first sparked his interest in college.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;For the past two summers, I taught for College for Kids. I wanted to have my class taught entirely from smartphones and related devices. The quality of hardware and software is tremendous. For my first summer, I taught students the basic process of pre-production, photography and post-production. On the final day, I invited the parents to come over to watch the final pieces together. In my second year, I added film analysis,&#8221; said Lacuesta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Lacuesta feels that both the College for Kids program and DVC have helped him get to where he is today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">&#8220;College for Kids helped guide me to DVC, and DVC helped guide me to a great university.
