Project Quack

Project Quack is SBCS’s year-long mentorship program where mentors guide teams of students in building real projects. Teams learn, code, and collaborate throughout the year, forming a community of builders. At the end, groups present their work at the Project Quack Symposium. Established in 2024, the program now brings together over 160 participants.
