Amp Lab at Electric Works

The Amp Lab model takes a unique approach to career and technical education (CTE). By focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship across industries, each student is able to unlock their own personal path. Congrats to 1st Place winner Jackson, 3rd Place winner Ryana, and Honorable Mention winners Hilmija, Chloe, Faith, Jazmin, and Indy! Thank you for representing the Amp Lab community so well. https://lnkd.in/ekCcUjEz #fortwayne #cte
