On July 9, 2025, young minds from across the capital region gathered for an exciting day of exploration, discovery, and hands-on learning at Super Science Summer, a partnership between Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) and the Capital Area STEM Network Center. This dynamic event invited 8–13-year-olds to explore chemistry and computer science, all while celebrating the creativity and curiosity that make science fun.

This June, the Capital Area STEM Network (CASN) Center hosted its third annual SPARK Your Summer program. This initiative is designed to equip single mothers with hands-on skills that foster self-sufficiency and promote career readiness. Held in partnership with the East Baton Rouge Parish Library (EPRBL) and the Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC), SPARK offers participants a chance to explore foundational skills in automotive care, electrical work, HVAC, and hand tool safety.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) is proud to celebrate the achievements of two outstanding students, Joshua Ross and Deldres Long, whose dedication, skills, and ambition earned them coveted spots in the ExxonMobil Summer Internship Program.
