The Cupertino Library Foundation (CLF) announced its fifth annual
2016 S^4-Super Summer Science Search™ Contest, a free community program open to all
outgoing 6th, 7th and 8th graders living in the Cupertino Union School District (CUSD). This
year students will propose solutions to some of the biggest issues facing our country’s cities.
“We are very proud that we’ve been able to bring this contest to the community for five years,”
said Jerry Liu, CLF board vice president. “It remains an outstanding project-based learning
opportunity for our middle school students to become proficient in scientific research, and to
refine their creativity, while applying critical thinking skills and learning to collaborate and
communicate their ideas clearly. Through S^4, students can develop 21st century skills of the
“Four C’s” (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) that support the
Common Core Standards. And students tell us every year they have fun creating their
projects!”
