1. Pair a deep technical core curriculum (math, science, engineering) with a broad set of skills essential for success (communication, ethics, entrepreneurial mindset, creativity, global view), engaging both the left and right sides of the brain.
2. In the classroom and beyond, we offer courses, interdisciplinary projects, competitions, and a myriad of opportunities for students to tackle real problems here at home and around the world. They put into action their technical expertise as well as business and social skills, empathy, and the ethical discernment that can lead to a sustainable future for all.
