GULF SHORES, Ala. — The Volkert Center for Applied Design and Dream Lab opened at Gulf Shores High School (GSHS) on March 7, Gulf Coast Media reported. Made possible through a grant and the partnership between the GSHS Engineering and Computer Science Academy and Applied Design College Preparatory Program and Volkert Engineering, GSHS students are able to work on projects including virtual reality, app creation, coding and other creative, interactive activities and components. The facilities house the Engineering and Computer Science Academy and new Applied Design Academy, which is a rigorous college preparatory program.
