Aim High
Since 2019, Truckee Roundhouse has hosted Aim High middle school students in the makerspace to learn skills in Textiles, Laser, and Woodworking. In the first year, students built two lending libraries for Tahoe Truckee Reads to be placed with books in local apartment and mobile home complexes. Each summer, they come back to the makerspace build meaningful projects and connections to their community and creativity.
Aim High was founded on the belief that every student has the right to a quality education. Since 1986, they have helped thousands of middle schoolers from low-income neighborhoods ignite their love of learning while attending their transformative summer enrichment program. Participation in Aim High yields real results—98% of Aim High alumni graduate high school and go on to college.
