Not only to get to see behind-the-scenes of how a technology product comes to life, but to get an up close look at the modern job force and what working in a company would be like. It must have been incredibly motivating for these kids. Wouldn’t it be so cool if one of them ended up working with Vocabulary Spelling City one day?!

The students were so impressive and I’m confident they learned a ton. Can’t wait until next year.
