Testimony

"SET has had a transformational impact on our school community. SET has created our Educational Technology program and curriculum, has encouraged and tasked our Educational Technologists, to schedule regular work sessions with teachers and students, and has provided our families current and helpful information via divisional blogs. SET has led our STEM/STEAM efforts school wide, adding a Maker Space to our school and showing the faculty where the curriculum intersections and relevance were. SET created a Robotics team in the Middle School. SET also has made a strong case for our school – a 1-to-1 institution-- to become platform agnostic, in order for our students to learn to be comfortable with any device at any time. SET consultants' impressively keen intellect and extensive expertise have been only equaled by their ability to build community and to work with a wide array of constituents."

Testimony
"SET was a fantastic resource and was great to work with. The SET Consultants were extremely strategic and thorough. For example, their work with our Robotics program consisted not only of collaborating with our Instructional Technology Facilitator (ITF) but they also gave our ITF quick tutorials in both building the robot as well as programming it. SET also assisted with the teams throughout the season, guiding both the ITF and the teams with both the requirements and expectations and helped the ITF to develop a structured program that is sustainable into the future. The consultants' knowledge and skills were tremendously valuable to the school, and it was a great privilege to work with SET!"
