This summer, at Roxbury Community College, BPS high school students enjoyed the incredible opportunity to participate in the Boston Design Academy (BDA) Summer Internship, a 6-week paid internship that aims to empower and inspire the next generation of innovators in the city. These future innovators were able to select from three distinct and exciting programs: Elevating Agricultural Technology (EAT), Tech Your Health (TYH), and Digital Design Intensive (DDI).
