TECHNOLOGY

The subject of Technology offers students practical and applied training that helps them better understand the technical world around us.
It is an ideal subject for those who are interested in innovation, design, and how technological devices and systems work.

The main content includes:

Design and problem solving:
We use a project-based methodology to identify needs and create functional and creative solutions. Within this framework, students will develop a 3D design project using Tinkercad, which will culminate in the 3D printing of prototypes linked to the end-of-year trip. This promotes autonomy, creativity, and project management skills.

Research, communication, and digital tools:
Students will review electrical components through the creation and presentation of digital presentations. This activity strengthens research skills, critical thinking, and the ability to clearly and effectively communicate technical content.

Electronics and automation:
Students will carry out activities involving the construction, simulation, and testing of electrical circuits—both analog and digital—to understand the operation of basic electrical systems and introduce key concepts such as current flow, resistance, and component connections.

Programming and computational thinking:
We will work on computational logic through tools like Scratch, which allows students to develop interactive games and simulations, and Arduino, which enables the programming of circuits with sensors and actuators. This work encourages understanding of automated systems and logical sequencing of instructions.

Materials and manufacturing processes:
Students will learn to identify and select materials and handle tools and basic construction techniques in the various projects carried out throughout the course.

Responsible and reflective use of technology:
We will foster awareness of the impact of technologies on the environment, sustainability, and society, encouraging a critical and responsible attitude toward the use and development of technology.

The subject is based on active methodologies and project-based learning, combining theory and practice and promoting the development of key skills such as creativity, problem solving, teamwork, and autonomy.
