More than just tinkering or terminology
Assisted by adult Mentors with real world experience, students are able to learn real world principles and practices hands on.
They experience full life cycle development from concept to deliverable, see version control in action, develop content and processes. Team members will complete action items, practice EMU (Enhancement, maintenance, and upgrade), and utilize quality control and safety standards.
