This first level course engages students in project based learning as they explore the technological world. Students will be introduced to concepts related to design, technology, and engineering and presented with “real world” problems. Students will be challenged to develop solutions to these problems by utilizing the engineering design process. Students will work hands-on to develop and model their solutions. Students will have the opportunity to utilize various technologies and softwares that are used in various fields of technology today. 

This second level course allows students to continue to explore the technological world while strengthening their skills related to technology, engineering and design. Students will learn to communicate their ideas through detailed engineering drawings, create 3d models of their solutions, and construct functional prototypes. Students will be given the platform to research and investigate real world problems and develop solutions. Students will use software (Autodesk & Adobe), equipment (3D printer, CO2 Laser, & Plotter) and hand tools in the designing and constructing of their innovations. Students will document the design process and keep a portfolio of their work.

This course is designed to expose students to the various roles in TV Broadcasting. Students will work collaboratively to develop weekly news segments by gathering and editing footage of the weekly announcements, school events, sports, and student generated segments. Students will make editorial and formatting decisions about news coverage, stories, and presentation while managing reporters, anchors, writers, editors and many others under deadline pressure. Students will be given instruction in the function and operation of all basic television facilities, including camera, microphones, switcher, video tape recorder, editors, and lighting equipment. This course will allow students to expose their creatively and strengthen their leadership skills while they explore the field of TV Broadcasting.
