Clubs & Activities
What Will Your Club Be?
Clubs at d.tech are created, organized, and run by students. Student founders find a staff mentor, create a mission statement and organizational structure, and commit to an annual “service to the community.”
Clubs have included feminist and cultural groups, photography, coding, singing, hip hop, leadership groups, music, gaming, robotics, young entrepreneurs, community service, and more.
Student Initiatives
Student-led clubs fall into three categories: Academic, Mission-Driven, and Social
Academic clubs such as Model United Nations, the Parliamentary Debate Club, and The Dragon Newspaper, build technical and career life skills that stretch beyond the curriculum of the regular school classroom.
Mission-driven clubs, such as TEDx, ArtREACH, and d.leadership, plan and host events for students and sometimes the public, to enjoy.
Social clubs, like anime, photography, and fashion, unifies students who share similar interests so they can follow their passion together.
Self-Motivated Leaders
d.leadership, one of d.tech’s largest clubs, regularly holds fundraisers, rallies, dances, and other school spirit events for students, by students.
