A turnkey, gamified workforce-development system for Tucson Unified CTE — three connected career lanes, a student-built showcase magazine, and an inter-school Reality Health Games competition. Powered by PHIT Data Systems.
Not new courses to staff. Applied, cross-program challenges that plug into the CTE programs TUSD already runs — each mapped to the Arizona ADE CTE category clusters.
Pre-Apprentice pipeline — clinical, allied-health & direct-care pathways.
Marstronaut — engineering, cyber, space, manufacturing & the trades.
My Healthy IDEAS — finance, marketing, media & entrepreneurship.
Whatever Tucson is short — RNs, MAs, behavioral & allied health — students route through gamified career exploration, certification prep, and an apprenticeship pipeline hospital partners actually hire from.
The broadest CTE cluster on the AZ list — engineering, automation, networking, electrical, transportation, construction, JROTC and energy. Marstronaut reimagines careers through a space-exploration storyline, K-12 friendly. The "A" in STEAM is what makes the magazine and the games possible.
Pathways don't activate themselves. This is the FFH A3 STEAM Team — Athletes, Artists & Angels who fund, design, market and tell the story of every other lane. Students pitch, brand and "sell" health innovation through My Healthy IDEAS.
One interactive print magazine per high school — produced by students — the single clearest proof of cross-CTE integration. Every program contributes, and the Omni-Media Publishing Studio is built to produce and print it.
Graphic Design · Digital Communication — layout, brand, AR/interactive media
Film & TV · Photography · Stagecraft — features, video embeds, photography
Business · Marketing — ad sales, sponsorships, budget, project management
Bioscience · Sports Medicine · Health programs — the subject-matter expertise
Culinary · Auto · Engineering · Trades — "Force for Health at work" stories
Printed and delivered to every family — a district-wide showcase, not a worksheet
A platform for you to manage and support an inter-school Reality Health Games competition inside TUSD — that also plugs into the larger Tucson Chamber of Health and the Arizona stage.
TUSD's CTE students plug into an active workforce ecosystem — employer pipelines, a major health system, the statewide action network, and the region's business chamber.
Start with the schools whose program coverage lets every lane and the magazine run end-to-end.
Widest CTE footprint — Bioscience, Business, Graphic Design, Film & TV, Digital Comm, Sports Med, trades. The flagship build.
Bioscience + Home Health Aide + Marketing + Engineering + Film/Photo — all three lanes and the magazine in one building.
Bioscience + Graphic Design + Digital Comm + Computer Science — health lane plus a full magazine production team.
Graphic Design + Business + Sports Medicine + strong creative programs.
A complete school year at the anchor cohort — the runway to run all three lanes, a full games season, and ship the printed magazine end-to-end.
The headline deliverable — Omni-Media Publishing Studio production and the print run of each school's annual showcase magazine, delivered to families.
Existing program teachers — no new hires. Co-funding angles to stretch the budget: Perkins V, AZ STO tax-credit, and CTSO tie-ins (HOSA · FFA · FCCLA).
So participation, coins and the magazine all track in one place from day one.
$2,500 / high school + $10,000 white-label platform set-up. Optional add-ons: a certified FFH Coach, Earned-It rewards, and the printed Showcase Magazine. It all culminates in a year-end showcase event the students produce. Start where you'll see value — then expand.
✓ Canva — three TUSD folders live: TUSD (2024), TUSD (2025, ~50 site/event photos for the magazine), TUSD FACE.
✓ CTE map — all 12 TUSD sites mapped to the three lanes & the magazine.
✓ Coalition — Pipeline Connects, Banner, AZHWAN; Chamber of Southern Arizona next.
⧖ TUSD Groups — five regions + FACE to be verified once the Supabase connector is wired.
