New Tech Academy

A collaboration at Wayne High School's New Tech Academy looks to get students excited to participate in the political process through research and conversations with candidates.

Students took inspiration from the lives of those affected by racist violence and police brutality.

The program has been led by New Tech instructor Robert Haddad over the years. It’s a civics project that aims to show students the importance not just of voting, but also awareness and participation in the electoral process, and how to read through political rhetoric to make informed decisions.
