Testimonial


The MEEP program provided me with real-life manufacturing experience.  Through this opportunity I was able to experience the careers that I work to encourage my students to consider.  Additionally, I was able to work alongside other educators with similar goals to grow in my development and facilitation of PBLs with meaningful real-life connections.  I have attended many PD opportunities in the past, but none that have allowed me to provide such meaningful experiences for my students.
