“We must prepare students, parents, and teachers to achieve the 21st Century skills needed to broker the interface between technology, life, employment, and develop a positive attitude toward life long learning. This community must have access to non-threatening, project-based learning environments that challenges, stimulates, and encourages them to succeed in the high technology fields of “Tech Valley”.”
