| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Chicago Tech Academy is a non-profit, open enrollment, four-year contract school that was founded in 2009 to inspire, educate and connect a diverse new generation of technology leaders in Chicago. Chicago Tech Academy recruits and develops students who are motivated by the life-changing potential of technologystudents who are excited to become tomorrow's innovators by building rewarding relationships within the tech industry and learning the skills necessary for real-world success.ChiTech's mission is to address racial, gender and socioeconomic inequality that exists in the technology industry by closing the opportunity gap. All students take rigorous technology, math, science and entrepreneurship courses, providing exposure to HTML, CSS, Ruby, jQuery, networking, video editing. This type of curriculum is not often provided to low income students.Our student demographics consist of the following: 300 students Grades 9 - 12 76% Black 19% Hispanic 91% Low income 21% Special education 10% HomelessOur school-wide outcomes include the following: 72% 4-year cohort graduation rate 77% freshmen-on-track to graduate 60% college enrollment rate 26% students earning early college credit 1% dropout rate ACT growth is below median Highest ratings in CPS for teacher collaboration and quality professional development Finalists in city-wide entrepreneurship challenge 4 of 5 yearsBelow is a summary of our use of financial resources: Donors help fund over 38% of the total cost of educating our students Even with CPS, State and Federal Funding a $4,000 funding gap exists per student Acquisition of computers and other technology is funded through donors Academic programs such as High Tech High and Project Based Learning are funded through grants and donor contributions 2016-2017 Fundraising Goal - $450,000. This will help to fill the gap in our budget.Chicago Tech Academy provides students a life changing high school experience. Unlike any other school in the city, we provide students with a 4 year, rigorous computer science curriculum with the ultimate goal of preparing student for college studies in the field of computer science and eventually careers in the field.How do we do it? Project Based Learning A teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem or challenge. Projects rooted in sustained inquiry, authenticity, student voice and choice, reflection, and public presentations of learning. STEM Education (Science, Engineering, Math, and Technology) Real World Experiences 100% of ChiTech Seniors will spend the month of February on internships Meaningful corporate partnerships: speakers, field trips, projects Entrepreneurial PrinciplesChicago Tech's mission is about changing the lives of those who will change the world. While there is obviously a benefit to students who attend, in terms of future financial success and stability, harder to measure is the potential future benefit for our society and economy. The greatest potential for our inner-city kids is not as the next generation of entry level workers, but as the next generation ofleadersentrepreneurs and professionalswho will influence the development of new products, services and businesses, and determine how capital and technology are deployed. We're confident that the novelty of the solutions our students develop will be matched by the uniqueness of the challenges they have faced, and of the circumstances of their upbringing. This is what makes education the ultimate disruptive technology and this is what sets us apart. |
