6th Grade:

This introductory hands-on project driven class has students follow the design and problem solving model to develop and create original inventions. Students will use a variety of digital and physical tools to assist them in the creation of their designs. Program goals include understanding systems, building critical thinking skills, embracing failure as part of the design process, and developing and communicating solutions with others. STEM principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics powerfully come alive as students design, build, and test towers, propeller cars, explore potential and kinetic energy, rollercoasters and more.

7th Grade:
Grade 7 Technology Education reinforces and expands on concepts of Technology, welcoming both new and returning students. This hands-on project driven class has students follow the design and problem solving model to develop and create original inventions. Students will use a variety of digital and physical tools to assist them in the creation of their designs. Program goals include understanding systems, building critical thinking skills, embracing failure as part of the design process, and developing and communicating solutions with others.STEM principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics powerfully come alive as students design, build, and test CO2 dragsters, rockets, bridges, LEGO Mindstorms and more.

8th Grade:
Grade 8 examines Technology in the most depth, while bringing new students up to speed. This hands-on project driven class has students follow the design and problem solving model to develop and create original inventions. This course provides students with an opportunity for creative problem solving and an experience that will be useful in making informed and meaningful decisions. Students will use a variety of digital and physical tools to assist them in the creation of their designs. Program goals include understanding systems, building critical thinking skills, embracing failure as part of the design process, and developing and communicating solutions with others. STEM principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics powerfully come alive as students design, build, and test robotic arms, mousetrap vehicles, CAD homes, and more. Through these projects students acquire knowledge of the Technology courses offered at the high school.
