illions of American school children have sharpened their digital communication skills with remote learning over the past year. But some students were already deeply involved in learning tech knowledge and skills. You can find some of those students in Robyn Bryce’s classroom at Prescott High School in Prescott, Arizona.

Named a Yavapai County Teacher of the year in 2020, Bryce is known for inspiring students to explore and experiment with technology in a range of tech oriented classes. Her interest began when she spearheaded the Media Tech Lab, focusing
on Film and TV production about five years ago. The Media Tech Lab has since expanded to include multiple tech disciplines. Bryce credits a grant of over $40,000 from the Jewish Community Foundation for getting the Media Tech Lab up and running. “We were really backed by them, and then people heard about it,” said Bryce. As word spread about her tech-oriented coursework, other community supports and grants followed.
