CDC in the News

Students in Ms. Asher's AP Calculus class have created projects to demonstrate the rate of change in a situation of their choice. Students were asked to design a scenario where a rate of change problem could be demonstrated. They then had to show the solution to the problem that they created to the class to showcase the formula that represented their shoebox model.

SITHS partner, The National Grid Foundation, recently honored Mr. Dazzo, Angelo Cardinale and Michael DiGregorio for their work on the Staten Island Solar Car Team. We are so proud!

Last Spring 5 Staten Island Tech students were awarded $15,500 in scholarships for college as part of the participation in the Architecture Construction & Engineering (ACE) program of Greater NY (https://www.acementorny.org/). Students who were awarded these scholarships will receive them over their four years of college.

The students truly went above and beyond to stay active in the program during remote programming due to COVID. Congratulations to Karen Choi, Kelly Yu, Colleen Wang, Jiayu Chen, Alan Zeltser on their great work.

OpportuniTeens was created when co-founders Cynthia Lei and Yong Yan (Crystal) Liang wanted to increase student awareness in college and career readiness programs. They aim to supplement the schools’ efforts in promoting opportunities for students. They have a website that is a database of available internships, volunteering events, and other job opportunities.

With the unexpected pandemic, they saw that there was a need for virtual student programs over the summer and during the school year. Since starting, they have established an account on Instagram and Facebook to promote remote opportunities that students can participate in, and remain productive during this time. In August, they launched their flagship website (https://opportuniteens.org/) dedicated to guiding students in their high school journey and beyond.
