Highlights of the Boston Design Academy (BDA) Summer Program 2023
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).
