(gentle music) In 2002, Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta, California, introduced DPEA, Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy. The mission was to provide 21st century skills by a project-based learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics to its student body. The program was fully implemented by 2005 along with the senior level robotics program. The Engineering Academy is very different compared to other classes in your normal high school. We spend one whole school year developing towards one project which is great compared to other classes where it's just tests that you take every couple weeks and you kind of forget what you've learned after that and this, you have to continue to keep learning towards one final project. The way we learn is in a rotation system so we're spending 10 days in either physics, art and design, machining, or computer programming. You're not just learning physics to do equations. You're learning physics to apply it to the design you created…
