Programs
Leandro P. Rizzuto Internship Program
During the 2018-2019 school year over 400 students participated in Leandro P. Rizzuto Internship Program in conjunction with the Brooklyn Tech’s Career & Technical Education Program. These internships covered a wide variety of career fields including Architecture, Arts & Humanities, Business & Marketing, Communications & Media, Engineering, Environmental, Film, Information Technology & Computer Science, Legal Studies, Political Science, Research, Sciences & Mathematics.
Our “flagship” internship, the BTHS Con Edison Summer Internship Program, provided internships for 18 students in the Electrical, Mechatronics & Robotics, Physics and Math majors.
What is also noteworthy is that more and more Tech alum who attend Homecoming and Career Day are looking for ways to provide internship opportunities.
Weston Research Scholars Program
Josh ’46 and Judy Weston sponsor this three-year research program that pairs Brooklyn Tech students with a Brooklyn Tech mentor and an external mentor at a college or research institution. It begins in the sophomore year with a research class for selected students and continues during the summers and junior and senior years.
The program culminates with a special recognition program that recognizes sophomores, juniors and seniors for their achievements in such competitions as the NYC Science and Engineering Fair and the Regeneron Science Talent Search. Newly selected freshmen attend the ceremony and are welcomed to the program. A journal documenting the work of the seniors who have completed the program is distributed. A special “white coat” ceremony is a highlight of the event.
Middle School STEM Pipeline Program
Brooklyn Technical High School in collaboration with the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation and National Grid launched the STEM Pipeline program in July 2013 to introduce Middle School students to the exciting world of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The program is designed to develop the next generation of STEM leaders by opening the world of science and technology to middle school students and prepare them for the challenges facing them in high school, college and careers. We draw our participants from Brooklyn middle schools that are under-represented in the specialized high schools
Students in this two-year program participate in a variety of project-based learning experiences including design and model

ing, automation and robotics, energy and the environment, and the science of technology. The classes are taught by Brooklyn Tech faculty and current Brooklyn Tech students serve as assistants. Incorporated into the program is test preparation for the Specialized High School Admission Test. • Jeffrey Haitkin ’62 Faculty Grants Program - supports faculty, student activities and curriculum enhancements. The grant program enables teachers to attend professional conferences, earn additional professional credentials, receive training to stay at the cutting edge of their craft, bring teaching tools to the classroom that otherwise would not be available, and expand instructional opportunities for students. The grants also support a full range of extra-curricular activities and interscholastic sports. The Foundation collaborates with the Parents Association to maximize the amount of money disbursed for these grants. • Scholarships – Annually, the Foundation Office manages $17,000 in scholarships annually started by alums in memoriam or for subject area recognition. Our office obtains the names of the nominees, makes certain that each meets the selection criteria, presents letters at Senior Awards night and makes disbursements before the end of the school year. EVENTS/ ACTIVITIES/ INITIATIVES
• Career Day – We had 145 speakers who covered over 200 classes across grade levels. Speakers discussed their careers and their experiences after Brooklyn Tech. Student Board members sponsored workshops on resume writing, and interviewing. • Recent Alumni Day – We invited back students who graduated within the last five years. Alumni participation was very high; we had well over 500 alums speak to classes. They shared their college experiences as well as pertinent information about their schools.
• Founders’ Day – For the first time ever,
26
T E C H T I M E S FALL 2019 the Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation sponsored Founders Day. It was designated as our march to the 100th Anniversary of Brooklyn Tech. The day consisted of a historical overview of Brooklyn Tech – its founding, its purpose and its evolution. A carnival was held to celebrate the 96-year history as well as a gallery walk through, where artifacts and signs of each decade were on display. Paraphernalia and food were plentiful.
• Homecoming – A two-day event. Friday, we showcased the school by hosting a panel discussion in the auditorium and sponsored guided tours. The day culminated with a luncheon at Junior’s Restaurant.
Saturday began with a processional of the 50th anniversary class followed by an auditorium presentation. Classrooms were open for alumni visits. Class pictures were taken.
Internship/Volunteer Information Forum - The Foundation provides opportunities for mostly freshmen and sophomores to learn about volunteer opportunities for the summer and how to prepare for internships during the summer of the junior to senior year. We invite organizations that already host our students; these organizations discuss the expectations for student participation and what students can hope to learn as a result of their participation.
• Ruby Engineers – Leadership and self-esteem building group for young women, founded by Sue Mayham ’76. We hosted several speakers this year and had a culminating event “Women in STEM Careers” at which six women who graduated from Tech shared their experiences and answered questions from the audience. The Ruby Luncheon celebrated 175 Tech seniors for their outstanding work.
• Auction – in collaboration with the Parents Association. Proceeds from this event help support the Faculty Grants Program. • Mentoring – The program, now in its third year, had 38 mentors and 46 mentees. The group meets monthly at Tech in addition to mentors and mentees meeting outside of school.
• School Culture Advisory – Group of alumni who meet as needed to discuss school pride, spirit and diversity.
• Middle School Outreach – Group of alumni and guidance counselors who speak at various events about the SHSAT, Brooklyn Tech and the specialized high schools. Last year, forums, workshops and events brought in 17,000 parents to Brooklyn Tech. This group also represents the school at HS Fairs.
ALUMNI RECOGNITION
• Titans of Tech – This dinner recognizes the achievements of Technites and their philanthropy.
• Tech Celebration – We recognize former faculty, alumni who have graduated within the last 25 years, alumni who have had sports careers seeded in Tech, distinguished alumni and friends of Tech who have provided superior service.

David Newman, Principal
IF POLYMATHS are students with multiple skills/passions/ talents, then Brooklyn Tech is the garden where the seeds were planted and these students began to grow. Early on, students come to Tech knowing various things about themselves. By the time they graduate, they have learned much more about who they are, and where they fi t. Once they leave Tech, they put their skills, passions and talents to good use in their college classes, and such post-secondary work-based learning experiences as internships, work study, practicums, and more.
As alums they come back to us in their age of exploration, and we have the wonderful opportunity to see where their Brooklyn Tech education has taken them.
Witness Recent Alumni Day, Homecoming, Ruby luncheon – events that bring our Technites back, special opportunities where our polymaths get to showcase who they are, what they’ve been doing and discussing, and where they have landed or intend to land.
The Brooklyn Tech they left might be slightly different now, but each knows that the future was cultivated in the four years they spent here.
The Alumni Foundation is proud of its graduates and extends best wishes to our most recent grads – the class of 2019. This class proved that polymaths are alive and well. This class proved that they are champions in the academic arena by completing one of the most diffi cult academic programs in New York public schools. This class demonstrated the power to overcome obstacles and reach personal as well as “professional” goals.
To all the polymaths who have passed through our doors: we thank you for your continued support of the Foundation’s work. We hope that your abilities and skills will lead to greater growth of the Foundation and by extension, Brooklyn Tech. ■
Score One for the Home Team… … With a donation to the school that helped you launch your own success path. Your gift enables academic, extracurricular, and real-life learning enhancements that public funding could never provide.
