History
Carl Bottcher has always had a passion for engineering, even though his main source of income was through growing his family-owned painting company. When the two visited the Florida Tech campus; Carl Bottcher stated, “We realized Florida Tech has enormous potential to impact the way we live.” From the donation of the Bottchers and another family, the Mertens, Create the Future was established to help Florida Tech grow the financial resources to become a predominant school in technological resources and courses.
