K-12 Students

Summer Project

Since 2019, SFASA continued K-12 student summer project program in summer under the leadership of Li Zhang (Director of Education). Every year we have students from middle school and high school joined us under the mentorship of SFASA officers and other volunteers. The students worked on the projects which were initiated and designed by the students themselves.
