Metro Tech Entrepreneurship Program students mentor 8th graders from Millwood Public Schools

Metro Technology Centers Entrepreneurship Program students prepared for an upcoming SkillsUSA competition by mentoring 8^th grade students from Millwood Public Schools. Three students Metro Tech students in particular – Jon’a King, Amari Stewart and Micha Ramoz – led the community service project, which they will present state SkillsUSA competition in Tulsa April 23 - 25. 

The project included designing t-shirts for the 8^th graders to wear during four leadership training and mentorship sessions at Millwood; and it ended with the 8^th graders presenting a project of their own. The winning team received medals and $100 cash.

Stewart - who divides her time between the Entrepreneurship Program at Metro Tech and classes at Southeast High School – said the project was fun and educational.

“We taught them everything we do to prepare for our own competition. They surprised us with how prepared they were on presentation day; they all did a great job!”
