Industry Certifications byDesign

Our high school STEM curricula are directly aligned with industry demands, ensuring students acquire the skills and knowledge required for success in today’s technological landscape. By integrating real-world applications and industry standards into our courses, we prepare students for certification exams that are highly valued by employers. This alignment not only equips students with practical, hands-on experience but also ensures they are ready to meet the challenges of a rapidly evolving job market. Our programs are designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, making our students highly competitive and sought after in the STEM fields.

Onshape Certification byDesign: This 18 week course is structured into three units, each containing five learning cycles, a preliminary challenge, and a primary challenge. Students engage in modeling, assembly, and engineering drawing tasks, working collaboratively to design their own parts and assemblies. These hands-on challenges mirror the Onshape Associate Certification Exam, providing students with the necessary practice and skills to excel.
