I've acquired skills I never anticipated having before coming into this program. I expected to learn how to build apps and websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. But I did not expect to learn so many content creation skills. And the capstone class is great. You start dreaming up ideas for a project on day one. Week two, you're preparing a presentation to pitch to a panel of teachers. Then you build a team, start putting together a plan, and get to work. The students get full control over the project, which is going to make our portfolios shine.
