The Independent Education Program is excited to offer an engineering program. Structured around the FIRST Tech Challenge competition, students will be part of a team representing the IEProgam as they learn about engineering, technology, and design.

The team will be directed by Russ Whatcott, a former Head Engineer at Purple Mattress.

The team will learn robotics, engineering, and design in preparation for the FIRST Tech Challenge, where they will compete. This program is built on the educational values the IEProgram is founded on. Students will participate in active learning and have a chance to test their learned skills in a real world environment.
