Dr. Dave and Zach Yentzer – Creative City

Zach: 5 Saturdays is a summer workshop that provides
high school students with learning experiences in entrepreneurship, agile
software development, job readiness, and agile life skills.  This is an important program for workforce
readiness.  I am excited about talking
about our 13 to 19-year high school student population in Tucson, AZ to enable
workforce readiness.  I saw some pictures
and you had the crème de la crème of Tucson entrepreneur community attending
the 5 Saturdays Award Saturday event at the University of Arizona.

Dr. Dave: 22 students registered for the 5 Saturdays
STEAM 2019 program in Tucson.  We were
running the program in three (3) locations, which included Costa Mesa and
Whittier CA, and Tucson AZ.  We actually
finished with 15 students.  There were
seven (7) learning facilitators from Tucson, AZ responsible for leading the
STEAM workshops, which included the following individuals:

Learning Facilitators

* Bernadine Cannon* Carmen Cornelius* Marilyn Johnson* Dr. Charles Collingwood* Raymond Mack* Michael Tucker* Marianna Eubanks

in the entrepreneur shark tank and mock job interviews.  The leaders included the following people:
