Informational Technology, Design, Engineering and Arts is a program that prepares students to be successful on a path to technology and design careers. 

In Pre-Tech 2:IDEA, we study careers incorporating technology and/or the arts. Through making and creating we discover our personal strengths and explore career options in multiple industries. Some topics we study are electronics, game development, elements of design, and media of all types! Within each project, we learn about the art, science, and technical components involved.
