It was good to see Bink at the finale of DTech, the Senior Banquet.
While she feels this program wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and she wasn't thrilled with how it was run - I believe she simply found a path through life that she doesn't necessarily want to take.
I think the program is what you make it. From silk screen printing, to 3D printing, to CAD design, woodworking, and a CNC machine, DTech is a place for the self-motivated. Just like in an actual self run business.
You have to be motivated, and have an affinity for entrepreneurship to get much as much as possible out of the program.
It's not about a grade, everybody is going to get a good grade.
It's about getting the big picture in mind about how the program works, what types of things are available to you, and finding your niche.
Bink didn't really like the self-guided "student run" nature of it. I think she's a person who likes a plan.
Still, I think it was valuable in some ways, but in the end it just wasn't for her, and that's ok.
