"To see a child soaking up information and be excited by the method of instruction is a beautiful thing to watch."
- Lynn Nahmens, DOT USA TeachUp! Intern, 2006-2007

Inspired teachers, engaged students, connected schools.  That's what TeachUp! is all about.
Here's how one of our Interns described the ripple effect of the program:

"I was helping a high school life science teacher learn how to use an interactive whiteboard.  One-by-one, the students started asking questions about the technology until I was bombarded by questions from the students.  I ended up showing them scholarship information on the Internet, and showing the interactivity with the whiteboard.  I learned that the students really wanted to learn how the technology works, and that if they are engaged, could learn anything."
- DOT USA TeachUp! Intern, 2006-2007
