Next Wave/Full Circle students talk with Katjana Ballantyne

Q: What plans do you have for programming for younger teens?

Katjana: I am really happy you asked this question. I think there should be more programming for middle schoolers. I think there should be programming in a way that you have experiences and not necessarily based on academics. It should be based on trying something new outside of your culture, your neighborhood. It might be that one little idea that puts you on a pathway to something new.
