Course Description:
Manufactured items are part of everyday life, yet most students have not been introduced to the high-tech, innovative nature of modern manufacturing. This course illuminates the opportunities related to understanding manufacturing. At the same time, it teaches students about manufacturing processes, product design, robotics, and automation. Students can earn a virtual manufacturing badge recognized by the National Manufacturing Badge system. Students are able to expand and use their knowledge of this course through the participation in the Barnwell High School VEX Robotics Team and/or the Barnwell High School Technology Student Association (TSA).
