The team, through one of our alums and Dean's List winner and a retired faculty member, are working towards implementing one of these programs in our school district as an honors level independent study. The idea is that our team will run the program during the off season at our meetings. The district is planning to remodel our two high schools in a few years. At that point we hope to help the district take our independent study program and turn it into a pre-engineering classroom curriculum.
Thanks!
