FORT GREENE \u2014 COUNCILMEMBERS SUSAN ZHUANG (D-43) AND CRYSTAL HUDSON (D-35) VISITED BROOKLYN TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL RECENTLY to celebrate the $5 million investment that they secured in city funding for the specialized high school. The investment will transform Brooklyn Tech\u2019s historic Foundry into a modern multimedia and research center.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn Tech is the nation\u2019s largest specialized public high school for STEM education, serving almost 6,000 students. The new investment will give students modern labs, collaboration spaces and cutting-edge technology to support hands-on learning and innovation. As a specialized high school with competitive admissions, Brooklyn Tech attracts many students from other parts of Brooklyn, including Councilmember Zhuang\u2019s district, which includes Bensonhurst, Gravesend and parts of Sunset Park. Councilmember Hudson represents Fort Greene, home to the school, founded in 1922.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis space will provide us collaboration and research opportunities which we currently simply don\u2019t have,\u201d said Principal David Newman, explaining that the school is part of the STEM pipeline with eight middle schools.<\/p>\n

Approved and established in 1922, Brooklyn Tech was the realization of math teacher Dr. Albert L. Colston\u2019s dream that the nation needed a better-trained technical work force. The $6 million building on Fort Greene Place opened in 1933.<\/p>\n
