The 74 Million – Monica Goldson
“Each year, high school students in my district build a house, brick by brick. One group pours the concrete, constructs the wood frame, selects the furniture, hangs the drapes and installs the security system. Meanwhile, another team captures video footage of each stage for YouTube. This project is a throwback to the vo-tech of yesteryear, but with a modern touch. Although much has changed since classes like home economics and wood shop were mandatory parts of the high school experience, teaching real-life skills remains a top priority for any school district. It’s why we have adapted our career and technical education program to fit today’s world.” (more)
