Medium

At frist the product will be dissemenated through our current network of engineering camps throughout NC and Texas.

Success

The product will be successful if the camps are successfully implemented with knowledgable teachers and support structure after the camp. The support structure may be in a form of a Facebook page or other social media.

Access

Our camps and products are displayed on our webpage and through the distribution channels of our know networks.
