Can anyone comment on their experience with the DCC honors program?
My D17 was accepted into the DCC program for next year; it was her first choice. I did all of the research I could about it on the UMD website, including looking at the course requirements, their upcoming and past events, etc. It looks to be a relatively intense 2-year program with students from all disciplines focusing on technology and media, and how they impact society. I like that they have evening programs, some serious (learn to program XXX, no experience necessary) and some not (i.e., let’s play with Legos!)
For my D, the big draws are the ability to live and work with students outside of her major (aerospace engineering) and to learn about emerging technologies. Her interests are broad, so this seemed a better solution than most of the other options.
I know you were looking for someone who has been or is a DCC member, but I hope this helped a little.
Thanks! I concluded similar thoughts on this program. It does sound like a great mix of tech and creativity.
Does anyone else have input on DCC? Thanks!
