Congratulations also goes to Ben Bobbert and Eli Yarborough, both juniors from Ellwood City School District. Bobbert and Yarborough have passed the Unity Certified User Programmer Certification. This certification is an industry-recognized credential that validates their proficiency using Unity technology. Gaming is their passion and they have been training for this certification for over a year. They are looking forward to the next chapter in their Gaming certification which would be earning the Unity Certified User VR Developer certification.

Congratulations also goes to several other COT students for earning certifications, as well.

Well-done, Casey Gleghorn, senior (MHS) for passing his Adobe Certified Associate Visual Design using Adobe Photoshop.
