2024 - 2025 CTE CLASSES
M21099 - CTE STEM Engineering Exploration, a.k.a. “Engineering” for 7th and 8th graders, semester-long
M21099 - CTE STEM Engineering Exploration, a.k.a. “Engineering” for 7th and 8th graders, semester-long
Course Competencies: This course is aligned to the Virginia Career and Technical Education course competencies for Inventions and Innovation (8454) and the Middle School Across-the-board Tasks.
Course Description: Students apply creativity and technology to create visual design, multimedia projects, and web projects, using industry-standard software. Work-based learning experiences allow students to apply layout and design techniques in real-world situations. Students create portfolios that include a résumé, certifications earned, and a variety of projects produced in the course.
In this class, specifically 7th/8th grade CTE course where students will explore the engineering design process and real-world problem solving through the use of technologies including CAD (computer-aided design) software, 3D-printing, laser cutting, and woodworking. Like all CTE classes, students will learn workplace readiness skills and will further their knowledge of educational technology. In past years, students worked in a group to build something large out of wood, like a doghouse, picnic table, etc.
M21001 - CTE STEM Design and Construction Exploration, a.k.a “Mechatronics” for 7th and 8th graders, semester-long
M21001 - CTE STEM Design and Construction Exploration, a.k.a “Mechatronics” for 7th and 8th graders, semester-long
Course Competencies: This course is aligned to the Virginia Career and Technical Education course competencies for Technological Systems (8463) and the Middle School Across-the-board Tasks.
Course Description: Students apply creativity and technology to create visual design, multimedia projects, and web projects, using industry-standard software. Work-based learning experiences allow students to apply layout and design techniques in real-world situations. Students create portfolios that include a résumé, certifications earned, and a variety of projects produced in the course.
This course is a more advanced year-long 8th-grade CTE course that is recommended only if you've taken Engineering and/or Mechatronics in a previous year. Students will learn coding/programming and electronics through the use of microcontrollers, like Arduino. Students will use computer-aided design software and advanced manufacturing technologies (3D printing, laser cutting, etc.) to create physical objects. Like all CTE classes, students will learn workplace readiness skills and will further their knowledge of educational technology. In past years, we have built and flown model airplanes and participated in the KidWind Wind Turbine Contest.
M21051XT - CTE STEM Design and Construction Exploration XT, a.k.a. “Advanced Mechatronics XT” for experienced 8th graders only, year-long
