Students at Smoky Hill High School use HP workstations to develop professional digital media projects.
According to the school’s administrators, Smoky Hill High School in Aurora, Colorado, is one of only a handful of high schools in the nation to offer instruction in three-dimensional digital animation.
For Smoky Hill students, that advantage leads to accelerated learning and a fast-track to careers in digital media.
“We have seniors working at internships before they ever enter college,” says Dan Cornell, digital media arts instructor at Smoky Hill. “Some of my students graduate high school with a level of proficiency comparable to recent college graduates.”
The use of HP workstations supports that proficiency. Cornell notes, “HP workstations are standard in the film industry. They’re also used at architectural firms and engineering labs and design shops all over the world.
