Whetstone went to the California Showcase last month and Knox is the first school to offer him since. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/yk_twin/status/2034810666356465948?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/yk_twin/status/2034810666356465948?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
