Bryan Woodhouse, Vice President of Industry and Regional Affairs at Madison Area Technical College, sat down with the Saile team, to discuss his experience using Sailebots – what challenges he and his team were able to overcome and what they find most valuable.

HOW DOES MADISON COLLEGE STAND OUT FROM THE COMPETITION?

Madison Area Technical College is able to pivot quickly and align with demand at a competitive price.
