The TurtleStitch.org site featured the HSFI presence at the NYCDOE Computer Science and followed our very busy exhibit!

It was such a pleasure to be able to reconnect and thank Fred Wilson in person, https://gothamgives.org/about/, who supported funding digital embroidery in our schools, 10 years ago!

The HSFI exhibit of Digital Embroidery using http://turtlestitch.org was a huge draw as students from all over the city came tnd admired the original coded designs of our HSFI majors.

Ms. Keel’s Marketing Class is preparing for NOCTI Exam 2026! Why not have some fun while doing so! The first team that reaches the Trophy wins the GRAND PRIZE 🏆

We started the day where students acted as Forensic Lab Technicians. Their mission? Meticulously reconstruct the physical evidence from the scene. It’s all about the details!
But finding the evidence is only half the battle. After the lab, our students traded their gloves for magnifying glasses, acting as Lead Detectives. They poured over the case documents and witness statements to:
Analyze the paper trail: Connecting the dots between the physical evidence and the documentation.
Construct a case: Turning data points into a persuasive argument.
Identify the suspect: Using evidence and facts to back up their final accusations.









A Historic Day for the HSFI Community!
Pride poured through our building—and into the homes of tens of thousands of viewers—as Chris Wragge presented "Class Act" live from our auditorium. Our space was packed with hundreds of HSFI community members, some arriving as early as 4:00 AM for the live taping. Our centennial year has already been one for the books, and we are just getting started!
Check out the article and video footage from today’s event below. We will share more footage in the coming days, but for now, know that we represented the Falcons in all our glory!
