P-TECH is the first of what is now a network of more than 80 grades 9-14 schools across Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island, and Texas. Louisiana will begin its replication this fall 2018. The continent of Australia is the first to replicate P-TECH outside of the USA with 14 schools announced and two P-TECHs will open in Morocco 2017. Taiwan and France are the most recent places outside of the USA announced to replicate. P-TECH was launched in September 2011, as a partnership between IBM, the New York City Department of Education, the City University of New York, and the New York City College of Technology. P-TECH was designed as a unique grades 9-14 school that serves an unscreened population, with no admissions requirements beyond showing interest. Students have the opportunity to complete high school requirements, an associate in applied science in the computer sciences field and earn industry experience. On February 12, 2013, President Barack Obama mentioned P-TECH in the State of the Union address.\u00a0<strong>President Obama:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cNow at schools like P-TECH in Brooklyn, collaboration between New York public schools and City University of New York and\u00a0<strong>IBM<\/strong>, students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate\u2019s degree in computers or engineering. We need to give every American student opportunities like this.\u201d On October 25, 2013, President Obama visited P-TECH and said that \u201cP-TECH is proof of what can be accomplished, but we\u2019ve got to have the courage to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Davis has been invited to the White House and participated in brainstorming sessions on High School Redesign and with national leaders on STEM schools.
