The Road Ahead provided schoolwide teacher training in the use of the Internet and HyperStudio, as well as small stipends for the engineers who served as advisers. The program, which originally focused on the Engineering Club, was expanded to an entire grade to increase involvement and academic integration.
Goals Improve math, science, and technology skills of a core group of students.
Improve information-technology skills of the core group of students. Allow the core group of students to experience a variety of career opportunities. Create a seamless instructional system uniting school, community, and business. Increase students' awareness of consumer issues. The first goal was dropped because the core group of students changed each year, and the team felt that it was unrealistic to expect core skills to change over such a short period of time.
