Who are we?

As seniors at Cazenovia HS, we would like to establish Caz Creates as a student run program that allows upperclassmen to work with 3rd - 7th graders to send them down a path of inquiry and passion for learning!!

Hi, my name is Thuc Phan and I teach computer science and technology at Cazenovia high school. Caz Creates is a student run program that I am proud to assist with; I was able to help in many marketing aspects as well as provide ideas in creating engineering based challenges & activities geared towards kids.
