One of the team members, Lorelei Hughes, shared her transformative experience:

"I didn't think I would be so interested in inventing something, but Make48 has changed my mind. Make48 has made this such a fun experience that I never would've guessed I would enjoy inventing something so much."

Lorelei's words perfectly capture the magic of Make48: sparking passion and uncovering hidden talents in students. This is more than just a competition; it's an opportunity for students to discover new interests and develop valuable skills.

A well-deserved shout-out goes to their incredible teacher, Gabe Nobbe, for his outstanding guidance and unwavering encouragement throughout this entire journey. His commitment to nurturing a supportive and stimulating environment where students can thrive creatively and intellectually is truly inspiring.

PTO Assist is a shining example of what's possible when students are given the chance to build something real and apply their knowledge in a practical setting. Their success story is an inspiration, showcasing the incredible potential that lies within our students when they are empowered to innovate.
