What you need to know about Safety Practice & Procedures this year

Safety Notice:

The safety precautions/protocols outlined for each hands-on activity are based on use of the manufacturer’s/company’s recommended materials and instructions, your instructor’s safety protocols, legal safety standards, and better professional safety practices. Students must conduct all activities under adult supervision. Using alternative materials or procedures for these activities at home may jeopardize the level of safety and therefore is at the user’s own risk. Further information regarding appropriate safety procedures when conducting technology and engineering related activities is provided by ITEEA. Do not hesitate to contact your instructor if in doubt of any safety protocols. Excellent resources for educators and parents are listed below. 

• NSTA: Safety for Hands-on STEM Home Instruction

• ACTE: Planning for a COVID-19-Impacted School Year (See pages 40-43).
