Quotes (extracted from an anonymous survey):

It [21-Tech] helped me to build and practice self-confidence as

an educator, and really opened me up to be an outgoing

individual. I feel these are skills that have carried over into

other aspects of my life as a direct result of the program.

Thanks 21-tech!
