TSEP takes approximately 100 underrepresented high school students of color to the Santa Cruz Mountains to learn about work/life balance through hiking, yoga, and mindfulness; math, science, and engineering careers from tech companies such as WalmartLabs, GoPro, Apple, and Northrop Grumman; and college via U.C.
