Explore courses, programs, and futures available at IC.
Builds entrepreneurship skills through courses and badges that guide students from idea generation to venture design, with cross-cutting connections to digital technology and marketing and opportunities promoted through the Innovation Center’s entrepreneurship focus.
Introduces artificial intelligence through ICT courses that cover core concepts, real-world applications, and ethics, progressing toward practical literacy in areas like machine learning and natural language processing, with links to projects and other Innovation Center pathways.
Prepares students to protect digital systems and data through a dedicated pathway covering network defense, threat analysis, and security best practices, with lab-based exercises, industry-aligned tools, and opportunities to pursue certifications and project team experiences through the Innovation Center.
Students in this pathway explore the full journey from concept to code—designing characters, building environments, and developing interactive experiences using professional tools like Unreal Engine. Whether working solo or on a team, students pitch, prototype, playtest, and build their creations while learning the technical and creative skills needed to thrive in today’s games industry.
Centers on digital content creation and interactive design at the crossover of design arts and computing, guiding students through workflows in 3D modeling, animation, UI/UX, and immersive media production, with project-based courses and student teams that build real portfolio pieces.
Explores music technology and creative production through courses and camps that blend composition, sound design, and audio tools with STEM concepts, giving students hands-on experience creating original works and connecting music with science and technology.
Teaches students to plan, shoot, and edit professional-quality video for film, television, and digital platforms, blending storytelling, cinematography, audio, and post-production to build industry-ready portfolios.
"Music just means a lot to me and I’ve had a lifelong relationship with music, but this group is redefining it. This team is creating a pathway that is opening up a lot of opportunities for other students."
Builds aviation fundamentals through an Intro to Aeronautics course and a dedicated Drone (UAS) pathway, offering design, operations, and flight planning experiences with opportunities to prepare for a professional drone pilot license and participate in team-based projects.
Builds robotics skills through courses and district-wide programming that emphasize sustainable, equitable access, hands-on design and programming, and pathways to work-based learning via student project teams and recognized focus-program status.
A college- and career-aligned pathway that introduces high school students and classified staff to teaching through concurrent enrollment courses, field experiences, and Innovation Center classes, building foundations in education, early childhood, STEM, and cultural awareness with a structured path toward educator credentials.
Offers an introductory-to-advanced bioscience pathway culminating in a capstone with neuroscience citizen science and research experiences, enhanced by VR tools to explore clinical and lab environments.
