‘Voice of the Revolution’
One of the Arab world’s most influential contemporary artists is coming to Campbell’s Heritage Theatre on Sept. 7.
Hamza Namira is an Egyptian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music rose to prominence during the 25 January revolution in 2011, a day of nonviolent protests against increasing police brutality during the last few years of Hosni Mubarak’s presidency. Namira participated in the demonstrations and was considered the “Voice of the Revolution.” His music is marked by sociopolitical themes.
Namira’s Campbell concert starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $60-$105 at http://bit.ly/467W74g.
Peer review
A delegation of 16 students from Taipei City, alongside a project teacher and administrators, arrived in San Jose last month to present their Science, Technology, Arts, and Math (STEAM) projects to their peers at Silicon Valley Career Technical Education (SVCTE). SVCTE is run by the Metropolitan Education District, aka MetroED, which career technical education for students in the Campbell Union High School District, among others.
“For the past five years, SVCTE has partnered with our sister schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City,” said Kiran Grewal, MetroED’s assistant superintendent of educational services. “This relationship is significant because it aligns with MetroED’s mission to prepare students for success in a global economy.”
Before traveling abroad, each student was required to go through a review process with professors in Taipei. Their projects included building a medical assistant robot, creating new waste disposal solutions, improving environmental sustainability and designing a response-time training system for the elderly.
