What is DT Philly?
DT Philly is a program teachers use to help their students develop as critical thinkers and creative problem solvers. Throughout DT Philly students experience moments of excitement and discovery, and opportunities for growth, as they seek to understand root causes of problems, find new ways of looking at those problems, experiment with ideas, and craft solutions that are desirable and feasible.
