It's Afro academic, cultural, technological, scientific, Olympics.
Basically what it is, it's what students are interested in anything robotics, debate, some science-y stuff.
Any choir, step dance music.
Anything that the students are interested in.
They can they choose.
It's student led.
They can do it as a group or they can do it individually.
And then we signed them up with mentors to teach them and propel them.
And then they compete locally, regionally and nationally for scholarships.
And this is the first time that Duluth is seeing it like it's been around for decades on a national level.
So I think it's something that's great, much needed for Duluth, for sure, you know, and it's and it's not even just specific to Denfeld, it's for all the surrounding high school students.
The involvement of helping the BIPOC community, giving kids the opportunities to do more than they think they can.
Being there to, you know, keep them off the street, keep them away from things that are not always positive, just to enlighten them and, you know, open their eyes to things that they possibly thought that they could not do.
