Welcome to Mr. Lindsay's class!

In the hustle and bustle of our academic lives, it's easy to overlook the hands-on experiences that contribute so much to our personal growth and development. "Tech Class" is changing this year. With a new focus on practical skills, creativity, and problem-solving Tech Class offers students a unique opportunity to engage with the tangible world around them.

What is changing? The Warehouse!  It's a shop class, known as woodworking or vocational education, that provides students with the chance to work with tools, materials, and machines to create functional and artistic projects. Through designing, measuring, cutting, shaping, and assembling students learn to transform raw materials into something meaningful.

That doesn't mean we aren't doing "tech" things still.  We are still committed to helping our students grow and navigate this technological society.  We teach digital skills that prepare our students for their high school careers and beyond.  We learn to code and use that to fly drones and build robots.  We have 3D printers to give students the ability to learn about designing and creating physical objects from digital models.

Fostering Creativity

Creativity thrives in our Tech class. Students are encouraged to take an idea from conception to reality, allowing their imagination to run wild. Whether it's through coding a drone, creating a 3D printed model, or a woodworking creation this class provides an outlet for self-expression that complements more traditional subjects. Moreover, the satisfaction of seeing a physical creation emerge from their hands can boost students' self-esteem and confidence.

It's important to note that safety is a paramount concern. Proper training, guidance, and supervision are integral to ensuring that students work with tools and machinery in a secure environment. Following safety protocols fosters a culture of responsibility and attentiveness that extends beyond the workshop. Your student will be trained on appropriate shop safety protocol and those protocols will be enforced.
