Hands-on projects that build design thinking, measurement, and teamwork. Learning the Engineering Design Process and using projects to explore various fields of engineering
6th – Intro to Engineering & Technology
7th – Invention & Innovation
8th – Technology Systems
Classroom Setup
Middle School engineering classes are a mix of grade levels 6/7 and 7/8. All students will cover the same topics but the projects will depend on the level. For instance in aeronautics: 6th will design air power rockets, but 7th will make air launched gliders. 8th will make rubberband powered planes.
