The purpose of Hesperia Unified School District’s Imagination Exposition (iExpo) is to inspire students to become innovators and leaders in the school and community. Students take part in one or more challenges across a range of subjects including Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Robotics, Improv, and Visual Arts. Each Challenge is open-ended and enables students to be creative and use their imaginations to complete.
