Join the Austin Community College District for hands-on demonstrations and information sessions at Feria Para Aprender, a regional learning fair for Hispanic students and families. Organizers expect more than 10,000 parents and youth to attend the event, which includes activities and exhibits by school districts, non-profits, colleges, universities, and organizations that provide scholarships.

ACC will have several booths at the Feria, showcasing various programs and providing key information about the college. Activities include robotics and solar technology exhibits, opportunities to take apart hybrid engines to learn how they work, and demonstrations of computer animation.

“The Feria improves access to education and support services for a growing part of our community,” says Dr. Richard Armenta, ACC’s associate vice president for student success. “Taking part in this event is in line with ACC’s priority to help close the achievement gap among demographics that traditionally have low participation in higher education.”

The Feria will be held Saturday, February 6, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Travis County Expo Center, 7311 Decker Lane in Austin. Additional details about the Feria are available at feriaparaaprender.com/austin.
