Paterson Public Schools welcomed Paterson native and Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz to the STEAM High School on 11th Avenue.

The district is helping students interested in STEAM get exposed to different career paths.

Cruz, a former Giants star wide receiver, attended Paterson schools and tells News 12 Jersey he's always happy to support his alma mater.

"Anytime I get the opportunity to give back to my community, to give back to Paterson in a bigger way and obviously it's educationally focused, I'm here for all of that," Cruz said.

Students at the school engage in activities such as working with robotic hands, using a brain cognition interface and racing electric vehicles built from kits.
