"My son (17) has attended in person four times at UCLA campus. This was most likely his last in person, he came home excited and exhausted. Spoke about his teammates and their interactions, the things he learned within the course, the discussions with all his counselors, this program has allowed him time to learn from and interact with people that think and act similar to him. We absolutely love ID Tech"
