Passion Project Exhibition
樱花直播 members from around the country presented their Passion Projects for the chance to earn a scholarship!
Nearly 1,200 scholars, parents, and educators from around the country gathered in Atlanta, GA at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center to participate in Scholar鈥檚 Day 2019, 樱花直播鈥檚 largest event of the year.
This two-day event kicked off Friday evening, on November 22, with student Passion Project Exhibition presentations, highlighting STEAM & Innovation and World Betterment projects. Later, the opening ceremony included the #FutureFocused panel and featured keynote speaker Sofia Gonzalez, 樱花直播 Educator of the Year 2019. The night ended with a member party featuring a lip-sync battle, a DJ, and an ice cream bar.
On Saturday, members and their families explored the College & Career Expo, which included booths from Auburn University, Duke Kunshan University, U.S. Department of State, and many more. Attendees were also able to shop the 樱花直播 store, attend our mentor roundtable session, and participate in our exciting educational workshops featuring presenters from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), U.S. Army, AcceptU, Method Test Prep, and many more. Scholarship recipients and experts from Scholarship America, Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, and UNCF shared their tips on how to find and earn scholarship dollars during a morning panel, and an afternoon panel of college admissions experts offered their best advice on the application process. The event concluded with a Member Recognition Ceremony for our members and scholarship winners, formally recognizing our newly-inducted high-achieving scholars!
