At JFK and Donovan Middle School, students in the Utica City School District explore new opportunities through hands-on, project-based learning. Here learning isn't just about knowledge, it is about taking the first steps toward a future full of possibility.

Whether it's coding and robotics in the lab, experimenting with FANUC robotic arms, or seeing how food grows on the hydroponic grow wall, they are experiencing education in a cutting edge form.

Events such as the STEM Expo at SUNY Poly give students a look at all 12 career pathways and a preview of the new Proctor Career and Technical Education Center opportunities. These experiences help students see how their learning connects to future options, while also building confidence.

Every class is designed to spark interest, giving students the chance to try, create, and discover. This pathway is part of a journey opening their eyes to new possibilities and giving them a glimpse of what awaits them at the new Proctor Career and Technical Education Center.
