The Academy for Design and Fabrication (D|Fab) prepares students for college-level study and/or careers in architecture, interior design, urban planning, industrial design, industrial, digital fabrication, wood technology, civil and mechanical engineering. Beginning with freshman year, students experience hands-on Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses aligned with industry standards in the fields of Architecture, Industrial Design & Animation, Computer Programming, Interactive Media, and Wood Technology, where students utilize software such as Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, AutoDesk AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion 360, Maya and 3DMax. This CTE work is further supported through an Engineering Design course which ensures all freshmen understand the engineering design process before embarking on deeper explorations in their desired areas of CTE study throughout their sophomore, junior, and senior years. In addition to this coursework, students are also exposed to a multitude of career possibilities through field trips, work-based learning experiences, and guest speakers.

Congratulations to #D|Fab senior Delaney Rice on receiving Honorable Mention in the 2021 National High School Design Competition hosted by Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. You can explore the work of all finalists and honorable mentions at www.cooperhewitt.org/design-competition-finalists/. The 2021 challenge was to use design to create a healthier world, and the designs we saw were truly spectacular with a record 815 entries from across the country. We’d like to thank High Tech High School #Architecture #Design instructor Vanessa Medina for including the competition as part of their class curriculum and encouraging students to take part in important conversations. I hope you will join me in commending their hard work. #HTHS #HCST #HSDesignCompetition #design ...
