Throughout the four weeks of Black History Month, Cuesta College and Central Coast New Tech HIgh will provide guided slide decks of curriculum for neighboring schools and communities to utilize and interact with to learn.
Each week's slide deck will cover a particular topic for individuals to better understand themselves and one another.
Every week is broken up into five 10-15 minute activities participants can complete individually and at their own pace. At the end of the week, all who participated are invited to join a Friday Zoom call/webinar hosted by the Cuesta Black Student Union.
