This PDF document describes the activities related to the Detroit Public School Youth Technology Corps (DPS YTC) Saturday Academy of GIS. This program is designed to enable high school students from Detroit Public Schools to become qualified members of the ever growing Geospatial Industry workforce. Specific information about the ESRI Virtual Campus courses these students will take in combination with purposeful applications of technology based education using GIS in Community Based Problem Solving activities will fully prepare the students for Intern opportunities. The goal is for these students to pass the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop Certification exam upon completion of Virtual Campus courses and CBPS projects. The DPS YTC is a collaboration with the National Science Foundation - Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (NSF - ITEST) funded GRACE Project.
