Earlier this month the Chicago Technology Academy held their first annual ChiTech Showcase for students, parents and supporters of Chicago’s tech-forward high school.
After the student workshops and panels concluded, students formally presented the ChiTech Showcase to the school community and special guests in attendance. Among welcomed guests, sponsor CompTIA’s President and CEO Todd Thibodeaux, offered to personally fund a $5,000.00 scholarship for each student going on to a four-year university.

The students addressed the Showcase audience with speeches revealing the deep passion ChiTech students have for technology, education and their futures. One student remarked, “The word “can’t” is not in my vocabulary.” Other students shared their sense of pride in the school and the appeal of the uniforms. A telling comment from many students was their sense of access to Chicago’s business community.

It is no wonder the students at Chicago Technology Academy are eager to go to technology classes, the demand for HTML and CSS programming language is likely to continue rising as more web-based software is designed to keep up with consumer demands. The students at ChiTech are ready and have what it takes to make it in the competitive technology industry.
