What is Gateway to Technology?
Gateway to Technology at Rudolph Gordon School consists of four courses.
Design and Modeling (6th Grade)
Design and Modeling (DM) provides students opportunities to apply the design process to creatively solve problems. Students are introduced to the unit problem in the first activity and are asked to make connections to the problem throughout the lessons in the unit. Students learn and utilize methods for communicating design ideas through sketches, solid models, and mathematical models. Students will understand how models can be simulated to represent an authentic situation and generate data for further analysis and observations. Students work in teams to identify design requirements, research the topic, and engage stakeholders. Teams design a toy or game for a child with cerebral palsy, fabricate and test it, and make necessary modifications to optimize the design solution.
Automation and Robotics (7th and 8th Grade)
Students trace the history, development, and influence of automation and robotics as they learn about mechanical systems, energy transfer, machine automation, and computer control systems. Students use the VEX Robotics® platform to design, build, and program real-world objects such as traffic lights, toll booths, and robotic arms.
7th Grade will use VEX IQ robotics parts to build basic robotics.
8th Grade will use VEX IQ Robotic parts to build more advanced robotics.
Engineering Essentials (8th Grade) Year long class. Students will receive high school credit. (1 unit)
Engineering Essentials. Students explore the breadth of engineering career opportunities and experiences as they solve engaging and challenging real-world problems like creating a natural relief center system or creating a solution to improve the safety and well-being of local citizens.
