Bosco Tech Dedicates New Emerging Technology Labs on Sept. 8

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. - Sept. 1, 2017 - PRLog -- The Board of Trustees, faculty, and students of Don Bosco Technical Institute (Bosco Tech) will dedicate the school's new emerging technology laboratories and the newly renovated technology corridor at a student body Mass lead by Bishop David G. O'Connell on Friday, Sept. 8.

The event will celebrate the development of labs dedicated to three emerging STEM fields, located along the school's technology education corridor: the Green and Sustainable Technology, 3D Design Rapid Prototyping, and Robotics Assembly and Competition Center. The construction and redevelopment were made possible by the generous support of several local foundations.

"The extensive work that we are celebrating today happened because of the generosity of the Fletcher Jones Foundation, the Michael J. Connell Foundation and the Dan Murphy Foundation," said Bosco Tech Principal Xavier Jimenez. "We are extremely grateful for their support of the school's unique curriculum. These new labs will function as central learning hubs for many years to come as students broaden their understanding of engineering in real-world lab environments where two or more disciplines are integrated in up-and-coming career fields."

The lab and corridor dedication will begin at 10:35 a.m. with a student body Mass to follow immediately. In addition to his duties with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Bishop O'Connell serves on the Bosco Tech Board of Trustees. He and the other members of the board work tirelessly to ensure that the school's curriculum meets the needs of students entering colleges and universities.
