My Project

Teaching is more than just passing on knowledge for me. I want to give student experiences that build a desire to learn more.

I want to give students the hands on opportunities that they will be engaged in and will help them in the future world of computers.

Knowing how a computer works, how to build their own, and how to maintain and upgrade it will help them in their future. The computer world is growing so fast and I want my students to be able to understand it and stay ahead of the game.
