DESIGN / TECHNOLOGY / ENTREPRENEURSHIP
DTech Academy is a Career Technical Education (CTE) "pathway" program at Foothill Technology High School in Ventura, California that specializes in design, technology, and entrepreneurship. Our aim is to transform students into designers and small business owners with the skills to produce quality products and sell them on and off campus.
Students in the program will take several courses in the academy pathway. In the winter of sophomore year, students interested in DTech will need to apply by submitting a two part application. Once admitted, students will take DTech Survey their Junior year where they will learn prototyping skills like CAD, 3D printing, CNC / CAM, electronics, and laser cutting along with project management and business skills.
At the end of the high school pathway is our DTech Capstone course, for seniors. In this course students will combine all of their acquired skills to become revenue generating entrepreneurs. The ultimate goal for the seniors is to raise enough money to help fund the resources for the incoming CTE classes.
