"I enjoyed the day with the students and wish I could have seen some of their homework. I heard they did an awesome job."

"I think the tech project enables our students to learn from professionals in a hands-on way that pushes them to "think outside-the-box".
It also has students considering other job oppportunities as well as gives those a chance to find a hidden talent. It elevates our curriculum to make it relevant for students by using and building 21st skills."
-McKenzie Manning
"My students and I BOTH benefitted from our experience with Mr. Fetherling. It gave me a new perspective on the depth with which I use technology for assigned projects, and it provided my students with an opportunity to make connections with what we teach and the skills they will need in the workplace."
