In 2015 Clinton started a computer training business called GetCTRL (Get Control) which provides professional development for teachers as well as awesome exciting workshops for students. Some of the workshops cover Programming, Web Design, Robotics, Drone Piloting and Coding... and even for a short time 3D Printing.
