Watch Your Child’s Ideas Take Shape

If your child loves to solve problems, build things, or figure out how things work, this pathway could be the perfect fit. With a strong focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), your child can start developing skills that lead to exciting, high-tech careers — possibly right out of high school.

Which pathway is offered?

Engineering & Design — If your child loves to imagine, build, or tinker, this pathway helps them turn that curiosity into real skills. They’ll learn how to research, design, and create product models with features and functions that meet customer needs — as well as the requirements of manufacturing, quality, and business. It’s an engaging way for your student to bring ideas to life and explore future careers in engineering and design.
