Applied Robotics
This award-winning robotics program educates students in the
fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM). By pairing students with industry mentors in these fields,
they explore all aspects of robotics from building to programming.
Students’ skills are put to the test during regional competitions
where they build game/playing robots that weigh up to 125 pounds.
Applied Robotics in SCPS gives students the opportunity to
combine the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and
technology. Students leave this program with highly coveted
technical skills that open doors to a variety of careers in the
robotics industry.
Artificial Intelligence
The Artificial Intelligence program offers a challenging sequence
of courses that prepares students for careers in multiple industries.
This program provides exploration opportunities for students in various
topics including data-based decision making, the components of AI
systems, the problems and tools of AI, and the impact of AI on society.
The program is offered at Crooms Academy of Information Technology
and the Academy of Advanced Learning Technologies at Hagerty High School.
Crooms Academy of Information Technology
Information Technology (IT) employees design online and mobile
applications, create or administer websites, manage information
security, and design and build essential computer network
architecture to meet organizations’ needs.
Crooms Academy of Information Technology is the SCPS
magnet for IT. Students are able to study and obtain certifications
in several IT areas including Network Support and Security,
Computer Programming, Game, Simulation, Animation, Design
and Programming, and Multimedia Design.
In additional to relevant and rigorous classroom instruction,
Crooms AOIT offers students the opportunity for industry-relevant
field trips, job shadowing opportunities, and internships. IT
companies also support the Academy by providing classroom
speakers and mentors.

Cybersecurity
Compromise, breach, intrusion! When a data network or computer
system is exposed or exploited, the result can be catastrophic to
both business and industry.
According to Juniper Research, “Cybercrimes have accounted
for trillions of dollars in losses” across the globe. Cyber criminals
target financial institutions, businesses of all sizes, government
agencies and military organizations to inflict significant damage.
Professionals who are trained to keep data safe from cyber
criminals are in high demand.
There are two opportunities to study cybersecurity: the Program
of Emphasis at Lake Howell High School or at Crooms Academy
of Information Technology. Both programs prepare students for a
rewarding career protecting valuable data from security threats and
hackers. By completing this program, students will be prepared to
plan, coordinate, and implement security measures for information
systems. They will have the skill set necessary to regulate access
to computer data files and to prevent unauthorized modification,
destruction, or disclosure of information.
