What is MIT-e?Middle School Institute of Technology and Engineering – A hands on

project based class emphasizing technology, (math), and science. Students work cooperatively between the technology, math and

science classes to generate higher order thinking skills. This program works in conjunction with the CIT (Coconino Institute of

Technology ) program at Coconino High School.
