The most interesting thing
about this course is being able to
relate to what our future is going
to be like.” Mobile CSP Student
If you’re not into math
or logic but you’re into art and
the creative side, this class
could help you (in those
areas).”Mobile CSP Student
It makes you think more
creatively … that’s more useful in
the real world. In your jobs they’re
not going to say exactly what you
need to do.”Mobile CSP Student
The skills I’m learning for
this course could be used for my
job … I’m planning on being a
psychologist.”Mobile CSP Student
