As a school subject, technology develops the technological literacy and capabilities of all students in grades K-12.  Its curriculum focuses on the development and applications of technology and the effects technology has on people, society, education, and the environment.  Technology Education is applying Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), History, and English in our courses of instruction.  This is done by solving practical problems, exploring careers, and increasing one's potential.

The Center for Innovation offers a unique daily experience that is distinct from traditional middle school schedules. Through project-based learning activities, students will make connections to real-world applications of their studies, preparing them for diverse STEM careers such as content creation, entrepreneurship, data analysis, information security, AI engineering, and health care services.

Technology is the way we apply science through engineering for practical purposes. In short, technology is made by humans, makes our lives easier, and solves a problem. This concept is the foundation of learning technology and my motto in teaching these courses. I want students to have a well-rounded perceptive of how technology works in our daily lives. Students will learn that electronics is not the only form of technology. We venture into the seven areas of technology (energy and power, architecture/building construction, medical, manufacturing, agriculture/biotechnology, information technology, and transportation) and how they are interwoven in each course and their respective career clusters. 

Engineering technology is the practical application of engineering techniques, through the engineering design process, in which real-world problems are solved using technology. Engineering, by itself, focuses on the development of concepts and studying how things work through experimentation and testing. We need engineering and mathematics to bridge science and technology as a social impact solution to our modern-day society.
