“WATT’s youth program helped open our students up to a world that many of them have never even thought about.”
Dr. Anderson
Principal â Miller South Performing Arts School
“I had a wonderful experience with the WATT program in San Francisco leading a class introducing kids to networking and Internet. The attendees were all engaged and excited to learn; even a couple parents sat in, and they seemed to enjoy the experience.   Watching kids have an a-ha moment understanding how computers talk to each other and how images are represented in bits, was extremely rewarding.“
