Once again, Questar III BOCES participated in the Back to School Expo – the region’s largest back to school expo. This was the fifth consecutive year Questar III was part of the expo, which was held at the Empire State Plaza in Albany.
Students learn about how STEM and cosmetology are connected
At Questar III’s booth, Coxsackie-Athens High School/Questar III Cosmetology students Danielle Finch and Maggie Capra demonstrated the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) connection to Cosmetology. The students also provided free nail art to attendees and shared information on career and technical education (CTE) programs.
Questar III’s cosmetology program is available to high school students in Rensselaer, Columbia and Greene counties.
Questar III joined Capital Region BOCES, Tech Valley High School and others to provide hands-on STEM activities to students and parents.
The event also featured entertainment, exhibitions, giveaways and celebrity appearances by Calum Worthy (“Dez”) from the show Austin & Ally and Peyton Meyey (“Lucas”) from the show Girl Meets World.
Questar III/Brunswick CSD student Vito Pascarella appeared in a commercial for the Back to School Expo with Albany Medical Center President and CEO James Barba.
