ICAS is an online academic competition that is designed to assess students’ higher order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling Bee and Digital Technologies.  

Each assessment celebrates students’ accomplishments by providing opportunities for recognition and development. Every student who participates will receive a printed certificate and an online results report. Top performers will be eligible for medals.

• Journalism: Learn the basic principles of multimedia journalism and produce reporting for The Owl, the student publication of the Journalism and Sports Media programs.
• Digital Media: Learn to kickstart your career in the entertainment industry by earning a residual income selling 3D assets of your own design online.
• Architecture: This short course will explore creative spatial design strategies in the built environment: architecture, interior architecture, and landscape architecture.
• Industrial Design: In this course, students will be introduced to the industrial design process by using robotic 3D printing technology to create a real-world product design project.
