Teacher Marco Torres works at San Fernando High School and saw a need for his students. Torres remembered the things he made in school and worked to build a technology team at his school that spoke their language - technology. Using technology, he allowed students to connect and use their voices to connect with the world. Students have to plan and start from the ground up. There is no template or worksheet Torres hands out for students to complete. Torres focuses his students on developing a strong base to every project. "It's easier to take an eraser to a blueprint than a pickax to a foundation," says Torres.
