BILLERICA — Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical School District is pleased to announce that registration is open for its annual Project Explore program for seventh-grade students.
The program, which starts in January, is run in partnership with Shawsheen’s sending middle schools, and is split into three sessions by town. Registration is filled on a first-come, first-served basis at ShawsheenTech.org.
Project Explore is a free, high-quality after-school program tailored to seventh-grade students residing within Shawsheen’s school district (Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Tewksbury, and Wilmington). This unique program offers students an opportunity to explore a variety of career options by immersing themselves in six out of the 20 vocational-technical programs available at Shawsheen. The program spans three weeks, taking place on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, from 2:15 pm to 4:45 pm. Bus transportation is provided from each sending middle school to Shawsheen, and complimentary drop-off service is provided near the attendees’ homes (specific stops are determined before the start of each session).
Mark your calendar for the following session dates:
• Session 1 (Billerica): Jan. 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25
• Session 2 (Burlington & Tewksbury): Jan. 30 and Feb. 1, 6, 8, 13, 15

Please note that programs are subject to change, and students are randomly rotated through the programs.
