Authors & Ideas Field Trip
Great ideas can change the world, so we make sure our future leaders hear them. Each year, the Student Ideas Festival welcomes more than 1,000 local students from Monterey County’s middle and high schools to learn, grow and envision a brighter future. Students from two dozen schools descend upon Santa Catalina School to take part in the Festival and interact with today’s most dynamic speakers and thinkers, ensuring the best ideas today will be realized tomorrow.
For many, the Monterey Peninsula will mark their first look at the ocean, an ideal setting to expand their own horizons. The shoreline that inspired Steinbeck, Kerouac and Henry Miller holds wonder for today’s students, stoking their imaginations, engaging them on an elevated level and alleviating the stresses of today’s adolescence. Our future looks brighter during the Student Ideas Festival, as students depart with the wisdom of mentors and carry that into a brighter tomorrow.
