Start of the program

The founders of this project are Tammy and Jerry Barber. They created this program with the belief that the students of today should be the designers of their own future. The idea was submitted to the Greenville County School District. Teachers voted on students that they thought would be the best for program. Out of those students, 12 were selected for the program by applications. Later they added 2 people to document the program to create a video showing what the students had done. Also they selected alternates in case of a student not being able to come.
