00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500
perhaps you the youngest student in the

00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:05.000
classroom if you're able to demonstrate the same content

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500
knowledge that the students around you can you're in the right place

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.000
it's a safe space for young people to figure

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500
out how they want to make a difference in the world here is

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000
the door here's how we get you in the door and here's what you can

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500
and do 1 shot on the other side 91% of our

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000
kids are taking the AP course if it's not an AP course it's

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.500
a dual credit dual enrollment course or an honors

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000
course there's no regular

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500
it's just

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000
a institution of Excellence there's a lot of

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
intentionality and how the school

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
continues on its staying

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500
in front and making sure that

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000
the students have the most up-to-date

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500
technology our engineering program

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000
is amazing robotics Club is

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
amazing award-winning robotics Club

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
I've actually qualified for the World Championships 3

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
times in the last 5 years this past

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
year we got all the way to the playoffs at the world

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
championships kids understanding

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000
this is learning

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500
uniform with them it's not something that someone

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
saying like you're going to need to know this later it's contextualized

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
completely so that they can see oh if

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
I want to be an engineer who works at

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
an engineering firm I need to spend time

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
learning from them and when you meet those

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
Engineers who work for a company like SpaceX

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
or bowing and you have a conversation well now

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
you have a better understanding of what path you might

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
choose choose a path that you feel really committed to

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
but also feel comfortable knowing that hey at

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
any point along the trajectory if you say this is no

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
no longer the interest I've learned from this experience and

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
I know I can make an informed decision about what

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
my next steps will be when you know better you do better

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000
whether or not they learn how to program this

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500
dealing with her that was far less

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000
important even if you decide not to do engineering

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500
it's great to cross things off of your list before

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000
you get to College as well it is those adaptability

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
skills it is the solutions

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000
mindset those students then

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.500
are able to work and get those jobs with the

00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.000
companies that they want to if

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.500
you're thinking about engineering you're thinking about Robotics

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:10.000
and you're trying to figure out where you can get the best

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.500
opportunities to do that the answer is

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:15.000
labeling

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.500
it's second to none
