Bio- Jason Ness was born and raised in San Diego California, before moving to St. Petersburg to attend college. He graduated from Eckerd College with a degree in Business Management; and for a few years he ran his own company as an electrician and diesel engine mechanic, before going beck to school to become a teacher. He started at Lakewood in 2004 in the math department, then switched to physics, which eventually led him to start the Applied Robotics program at CAT. Mr. Ness likes that robotics combines academic skills like math and programming with hands-on skills like building and trouble shooting. He also uses his experience running a small company to help prepare students for the real-world challenges they will experience after high school.

The classes that are unique to CAT (like robotics, system administration, and programming) along with the passion of the educators who teach them are what make the program so valuable to students who want to further their knowledge in depth and breadth of science and technology. At CAT, advanced classes and project-based learning encourage students to challenge themselves. It also fosters a flexible learning environment that is geared toward what the students need. - CAT Graduate
