Holy Family Academy "The strength and viability of our culture depends upon adolescents having rich and varied learning experiences that help them to cultivate a sense of curiosity, wonder, and empathy. As a member of the Fluency Project, I am eager to equip my students with the creative confidence and understanding to make sense of real world issues that they care deeply about. This is vital if we are to educate the next generation of innovators and servant leaders who have the capacity and will to solve the toughest problems on the horizon." |

PPS Perry High School "I find that the best way to learn anything truly new, especially about technology, is to do it alongside my students. For fun, laughter, intensity, intellectual honesty, growth, and the chance to grow together in relationship as humans and develop real rapport, true learning opportunities with real-world applications are the best way. So, the Fluency Project is a great way to do all of that." |
