Industrial tech teacher Rob Van Der Hagen and BOLD High School rising seniors Austin Schroeder and Tate Sheehan detail their 'real-world' shop class.

the idea of teaching crept into his mind around 2021. He joined BOLD High School's Industrial Tech Program last fall.

Another rising senior Tate Sheehan said he went in to Van Der Hagen's class with little experience but that his education was"better than I expected."

To achieve his real-world application goal, the former auto shop owner finds projects for his students by reaching out to the community."If we run out of projects to work on, we just put a post out there and it's like the tooth fairy shows up and the shop is full within a day or two," he said.
