Guild of SITHS

Makerspaces have emerged all over the country for local artists, designers, and entrepreneurs to turn ideas into realities. Staten Island Tech embraces the concept of creativity by providing students with resources and opportunities to hone their skills through participation in contests and establishment of businesses.
During the 2016–17 school year, we rolled out a new makerspace/business incubator program called the Staten Island Tech Guild to encourage students to explore their interests with like-minded individuals. This year we have helped fund and build over 40 independent student projects and completed 15 co-curricular capstone projects across every discipline.

Check out our Summer Design Institute program that took place this summer in our Summer Design Institute serving over 250+ High School Students engaged in CAD, Robotics, Computer Science, TV Production, Engineering and Art.

Mr. Wantowski tasked his Electronics classes with creating and assembling a bluetooth speaker of their own design in small teams, which would ten be auctioned in front of the community. Students were tasked with designing a case to house the electronics as well as to wire and solder the components together to make the speaker fully functional.

Sophomore Civil Engineering CAD  students and our TV Studio Engineering students are working towards their Drone Pilot Certification. A valuable Engineering industry skill and tool.

Ms. Asher's Algebra II class took part in a Makerspace project this year to create curved artwork out of straight lines with push pins and strings. Some of her classes' best artwork will be up for auction by the PTA this spring.
