So, the coolest thing just happened to us. We were able to use our ridiculousness to help inspire a bunch of students to dream big. See, last week we were contacted by Mr. Alvarez, an old friend of Kyle’s who teaches at KIPP Sunshine Peak Academy in Denver, Colorado. He said he’d been showing [...]
