Example of a Year Overview

*Adjust this timeline as needed. For example, you might move 3D printing to another month if you need to check out the Future Ready 3D printers. Or you might spend more time on Coding and less time on robotics. Or you might skip one of these all together. The only requirement is Digital Citizenship during October.
