In this episode, we sit down with High School Shop teacher Matt Iaccarino. Matt tells us how one impactful teacher set the trajectory of his career. One thing you may not think of - What educational background do you need to be a shop teacher? Matt teaches everything from Automotive to wood shop, metal shop, drafting, and basic electrical. Matt tells us about the college program he chose and how it has led his career to the high school where he teaches. We discuss the rundown of the different classes he teaches and some of the different student projects they do each year. Matt even surprised us with an amazing Topics Under the Stairs sign he made on the plasma table!

If you know anything about Topics Under the Stairs, you know we really like to dig into the details of working in different trades. This was an amazing opportunity to hear about the education to develop them.
