What a privilege to host Indiana Secretary of Education, Dr. Katie Jenner & Rep. Heine at Amp Lab today. Here genuine interest and respect for our students was felt.
A path for meaningful high school experiences for students is not a zero sum game.

When looking at students gaining Industry 4.0 & 5.0 skillsets, how do you choose between the equipment providers? Single source? Combo?
Curious from those out there in #manufacturing #industry4pt0 #smartmanufacturing
Creative collisions this morning and afternoon at Union Street Market. Had an amazing group of industry experts work with many of our Capstone students on getting ready for life after high school.
Thanks to everyone that took time to support our students.
