The seeds of creativity could be seen across the Harkness Career and Technical Center, as students took part in the Summer at the Center.

Students in the program, entering grades 6 through 9, chose four different specialties to learn through the week, in areas like culinary arts, animation, filmmaking, engineering and robotics, fashion design, video game design, building trades and cosmetology.

In addition to working with teachers, students had the chance to meet professionals working in the field.
