Investing in students today means investing in tomorrow's workforce.

Just a few months after Orange High School unveiled its Brightspeed Bright Future Tech Lab, we're already seeing that investment create new opportunities for students.

The lab has become a centerpiece of the school's Orange Engineering & Design Academy, drawing the attention of prospective students and families while fueling growing interest in STEM education. Students have used the new technology to support networking coursework and produce content for their robotics competitions, with plans to expand into a new drone program this fall and summer camps next year.

As Brendan Murray, AP Computer Science Teacher at Orange High School, shared:

"The first few months of the new lab have been filled with excitement and it has lit a flame of interest in the Orange Engineering & Design Academy within the Orange High School community."

The Brightspeed Bright Future Tech Lab Contest, created in partnership with Stay Plugged In, reflects a shared commitment to expanding access to technology and helping students develop the skills they'll need to succeed in tomorrow's workforce.

We're excited to see how these students continue to learn, innovate, and inspire what's next.

This month, across 3 big days, 40 coaches joined the TAEL admin team and our 2026-2027 partners for "TAEL Unlocked", and then a room full of educators became the very first NAECAD Level 1 Certified esports coaches in the state of Tennessee.

Congratulations to Russell Prater, Jaxon Stringer, Eric Harvey, Kate Morris, Elvia Klym, Jeremy Hanks, Johnathan O'Neill, Taylor McCollister, and Robert Baltz. From West Carroll to Williamson, Warren to Wilson to Clarksville-Montgomery, this group represents the entire state, and their students are about to feel the difference.

A huge thank you to Eric Harvey and Williamson County Schools for hosting the first TAEL/WCS Esports Coach Academy at the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center in Franklin, and to Connor Alne, Executive Director of @TheNAECAD , who traveled from Kansas City to certify our coaches in person. 12 PD hours, a national certification, and a 2026-2027 season structure built by the coaches themselves.

And to the partners standing with Tennessee students this season: @Stay_Plugged_In, NAECAD, @regadget, @cleverlike Studios, and @Emerge_GG Thank you for believing in what our students can do.
