About This Class...

This class encourages hands-on exploration, collaboration, inquiry and technology. Through the quarter the class will use the Engineer Design Process for all activities. The activities will focus on engineering, coding, and architecture. Through the quarter I encourage students to try new things and explore different solutions that they may normally not try. It's exciting to see students out of their comfort zone and thinking about ideas that may have never occurred to them before.
