SCHOOLS

Although our current focus is on US and Canadian schools, we welcome any school globally who has the hardware, software, and video expertise to join Take 2.

For your convenience, we have included a summary of the Requirements and Benefits of joining Take 2.

Finally, we have a page of Product Features (PDF) that summarizes the footage.
