About

Gotham Tech High School is an exciting choice for students seeking a school that fosters a passion for STEM. Our exceptional programs in Robotics & Engineering, Computer Software Design, and Data Science are enhanced by our partnership with the NYC First STEM Center, offering students hands-on experiences that go beyond traditional learning. In our Robotics and Engineering program, students engage in robotics competitions that emphasize challenge-based learning, enhancing their coding, design, and problem-solving skills. This competitive atmosphere not only fosters collaboration and design thinking but also builds lifelong friendships and a strong sense of community. Our Computer Software Design program immerses students in user-centered design and interface development, allowing them to create impactful digital experiences. Through challenge-based projects, they learn to approach problems creatively and innovatively. In our Data Science curriculum, students explore essential topics like data analysis and Python programming, preparing them for promising careers in this rapidly evolving field. At Gotham Tech, we offer a robust college-preparatory program in the arts, world languages and sciences to ensure a well-rounded education for each student. Gotham Tech nurtures the next generation of leaders in technology and beyond!

Art
Gotham Tech High School is a challenge-based school that embeds design thinking in its approach to teaching and learning. Our three pillars are Robotics, Advisory, and Capstone Research. For our school, the arts is a necessary component alongside Robotics and Research as modes to help our students interpret the world, solve complex problems, and create spaces for joy and creativity. We want our arts program to reflect the beauty of the design process. To that end, our arts program is structural - sculpture, drafting, computing, building, crafting, etc. We want our students to engage the world with their art in innovative and humanitarian ways. Our art is in the doing!
