The program emphasizes project-based learning and the use of technology to get students and teachers engaged and excited to problem-solve, communicate, and create.&nbsp; The program is funded by the Verizon Foundation, whose Verizon Innovative Learning initiative is committed to providing free tech, access and innovative hands-on learning for students who don&rsquo;t have the technology literacy or access to succeed in this new world.
