Decatur High School at Deloitte Digital

 

On February 21, Decatur High School of Federal Way Public Schools was honored to spend the day with Deloitte Digital! 25 of our diverse students from Decatur High School were welcomed by the amazing Deloitte team. We were greeted with a career tour and an introduction to the various career opportunities at Deloitte.  After the tour, we were divided into two small groups to explore the process for creating a new and innovative app. We also learned how to design, develop and create a Rube Goldberg machine.

 

 

The students then presented their inventions to the larger group made up of students and Deloitte professionals. The scholars had lunch with the Deloitte team and ended the day with an amazing Panel presentation by professionals at Deloitte!

 

Thank you, Deloitte Digital, for exposing our young women to these career opportunities and the various pathways to succeed in the world of technology!
