What is MIT-e?
Middle School Institute of Technology and Engineering – A hands on
project based class emphasizing technology, (math), and science.
Students work cooperatively between the technology, math and
science classes to generate higher order thinking skills. This program
works in conjunction with the CIT (Coconino Institute of Technology )
program at Coconino High School.
