177Q submitted their curriculum, aptly named “The Right Stuff,” to the Grow NY competition. They shared their experience of traveling to Ithaca overnight to present their work:

“Class Y24 of P 177Q developed a curriculum that would help farmers and the agricultural community to keep and hire young adults with disabilities. Out of 30 teams in NY state, we placed in the top eight.  Plus we were the only NYC public school invited to compete in Ithaca and the only students with disabilities to present.  We made an infomercial and spoke for 5 minutes both verbally and using our ACC devices.  It was like shark tank for students.”
