Project with Humboldt County of Education

  • Bike power class with at-risk youth in Eureka
    • Humboldt State University students will have an opportunity to serve the community and work with at risk youth in building upon student strengths in hands on practical life skills. Two students will provide a 50 minute elective class at the Lincoln Therapeutic Learning Classroom once per week. The project will focus on developing electricity from bicycle power. HSU students will develop curriculum and implement the elective class under the supervision of the classroom teacher, classroom specialists, and on-site administration. The Lincoln Therapeutic Learning Classroom (TLC) is located in Eureka, CA at the Lincoln school site. The Lincoln TLC consists of 5 students with a focus on socio-emotional, academic, and practical life skills.
    • Other project options including developing an edible garden and papermaking project.
    • Fingerprinting clearance for HSU Environmental Engineering students and all supplies will be covered by the Humboldt County Office of Education.
