Written by the company

The Innovation Program brings the approach behind Design Tech High School (d.tech), an award-winning public high school on Oracle’s campus in Redwood City, California, to students everywhere. ----> Every course is live and online, taught by d.tech teachers, with mentors who work alongside students on real projects. ----> The idea is simple: young people should shape the world around them. So students get real problems, real mentors, and a real standard to meet, and they come away with work that shows what they can do. ----> The program began in 2019 when Design Tech High School worked with the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity (SCALE) to define what it means to be a creative, self-directed leader, and designed a program to build those skills. It worked so well with d.tech students that the school opened it to students everywhere. ----> Four programs, grades 6-12: ---->**Design & Make (grades 6-8). A hands-on maker course. Students find a need in the people around them, then design, build, and test a working prototype. A maker kit ships before class. ---->**Innovation Certificate (grades 8-10). A mentored passion project, reviewed against a real standard. Students leave with a prototype, a portfolio write-up, a draft college application essay, a digital badge, and a completion letter for their school. ---->**Internship Accelerator (grades 10-12). A short design bootcamp, followed by a two-month remote internship on a real project with a partner organization, with a mentor throughout. No experience required. Students leave with an updated résumé, a LinkedIn profile, and an internship profile for their portfolio. ---->**Design Your Future (grades 11-12). Students map their strengths and interests, talk with professionals, and test possible college and career paths. They leave with a résumé, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, career pathway profile, an internship search plan, and professional outreach experience. ---->Optional university credit is available for many of the high school programs at an additional cost.
