About

Designed by teachers, for teachers — with the real needs of the classroom in mind.

Our story

Marty Harris has spent over 30 years teaching Design & Technology, Engineering and STEM in secondary classrooms — currently as Head of Faculty (Technologies) at Hillcrest Christian College. Technically Speaking grew out of that classroom experience: done-for-you projects and PD built by someone who has actually run them with real students, not written from a textbook.
