Man, even 30-50 years ago was so neat. Hearing stories about high school students being involved in programs to work with other schools and build houses and neighborhoods under professional craftsmen and such.

The value of that kind of experience, from carpentry, to education on electrical wiring, to exterior and interior designs, plumbing, the list goes on..those are invaluable, and getting kids involved with that so young creates a spark in so many possibilities and sets them up on a good path.
