The Contra Costa County Regional Occupational Program (CCC ROP) works hard to provide students with access to quality education and career opportunities. Every year, the CCCSEF competition takes place in March, and this year it was held in person at the Los Médanos School in Pittsburgh. Dozens of industry partners and volunteers evaluated the projects, and 18 were chosen to compete at the Science & Engineering Fair in California, with three projects representing the CCCSEF at the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May. Contra Costa County is one of California's 58 counties and has the ninth largest public school student population in the state (approximately 158,401 students).
The CCCOE provides support services to schools and school districts in Contra Costa County, which can be managed more effectively and economically at the regional level. Through its research projects, students are able to gain valuable experience in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). These projects provide students with an opportunity to explore their interests and develop skills that will help them succeed in their future careers. The CCCOE has a long history of supporting student-run research projects. Each year, hundreds of students participate in research projects that are sponsored by the CCCOE.
These projects range from developing new technologies to exploring new scientific concepts. The CCCOE also provides funding for these projects, which helps ensure that they are successful. In addition to providing funding for research projects, the CCCOE also offers mentorship and guidance to students who are interested in pursuing a career in STEM. Through its mentorship program, students are able to gain valuable insight into the world of STEM and learn how to apply their knowledge to real-world problems. The CCCOE is committed to helping students reach their full potential through its research projects. Each year, hundreds of student-run research projects are completed at science schools in Contra Costa County.
These projects provide students with an opportunity to explore their interests and develop skills that will help them succeed in their future careers.
