Last Wednesday, I attended the Rose café with Adam Schwartz. He spoke to us about the Jacob’s Tech School and the up and coming school they are building. The Cornell Tech School, which is located on Roosevelt Island in NYC, is like no other school at the moment. The vision they have for this school was very interesting. Unlike your standard school, they will be approaching the material in a very different way. The building design, which are a few large open floors, lends itself to the makings of a great collaboration center, which is exactly what they are planning to do. Instead of working individually, students will be working in groups and with professors to get not only the best education they can, but also the skills they will need for future jobs and projects. The hands on experience they get seems like a great opportunity to be working in the field. With the school being located in New York City, I think this is a really great opportunity for people in the tech fields. Through his talk, I’m glad I learned about this tech school and how it will be different from the programs out there now.
