But what began as an informal gathering of sports fans soon grew into a collection of champions. In this short film, meet some of the members of this remarkable team, and learn how Tonsoni's informal, project-based approach to learning helped these young bracketologists acquire the kinds of key skills-data science, public speaking, and more-that every teacher hopes to instill in their students.
