High school students learn trade skills building affordable housing in Colorado

high school student June Baker and her teacher Darrin Rassmusen huddled over blueprints trying to figure out what went wrong with a drywall installation. Turns out it was confusion over two panels both labelled A. "We have one wall A that's right and then one that's not built because I had to take it apart," Baker said.
