So -- to reiterate -- whether or not TJ is better than the neighborhood high school [b]depends on the kid[/b].  TJ is not necessarily better for any kid wanting advanced studies in computer science and technology.[/quote]

Well, of course it depends on the kid. But, generally speaking, TJ unquestionably offers better opportunities than other high schools for kids looking to take advanced courses. [/quote]

Q: How will TJ faculty and students use the platform to teach others?

A: JCIRN’s potential to expand TJ’s outreach to elementary and middle school students, including those in economically challenged parts of the county, is extraordinary. Essentially, all the outreach that our students are currently engaged in through our “Stembassador” program, our weekend outreach events such as “Science and Techstravaganza,” and our “8th period” and after- school tutoring and other programs will be amplified by JCIRN.

Once an outreach project is established by a TJ student or teacher, JCIRN members will be able to share curriculum and podcasts, interact via video, broadcast presentations from VIP speakers, and use group or one-on-one tutoring tools. TJ could impact many schools and students beyond our immediate area for the first time.[/quote]
