Our Focus

The Techways Program will see students exploring basic Carpentry (design and build) and Bicycle Mechanics (maintenance) in a safe environment. Students will get hands-on experience to possible pathways that are available to them. Learning science and technology is something students do, not something that is done to them (National Science Education Standards (1996), p. 20).

The teaching strategy that will be used throughout this program will be aligned with the technological problem-solving skills continuum found on pg. 16 of the Science and Technology curriculum document grades 1-8. Reflecting this continuum, students will develop the ability to design solutions to problems through careful planning, purposeful selection of tools and materials, testing and retesting, modification of product design or process, sharing solution and making recommendation for changes and improvement.
