Pictures of PES Students and their Engineering Design Challenges!!
PES now has a competitive VEX IQ Robotics Team! Stay tuned for the practice times/days!
PES-TSA is an afterschool STEM/Engineering co-curricular open to all students in grade 5-8. We meet Mondays and Thursdays afterschool until 4:30pm.
The national Technology and Engineering Curriculum Standards were revised over the course of 2 years, and published in 2020. This is a picture of the group that met in the Summer of 2019 to begin the process of reviewing and updating the Standards (I am standing on the right side in a blue and green shirt! :).
There is now a core group of Technology and Engineering Educator Leaders working to revise and update the New Hampshire State Technology and Engineering Curriculum Guide to better reflect the National STEL Standards. We plan to publish that document in 2022.
Technology and engineering are pervasive in all aspects of our lives. Every human activity is dependent upon the products, systems, and processes created to help grow food, provide shelter, communicate, work, and recreate. As the world grows more complex, it is increasingly important for everyone to understand more about technology and engineering. People need to understand technology’s impacts on their lives, on society, and on the environment, as well as how to use and develop technological products, systems, and processes to extend human capabilities.
These understandings are all important elements of technological and engineering literacy. Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy provides a vision of what students should know and be able to do in order to be technologically and engineering literate.
Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL) provides an up-to-date roadmap for classroom teachers, district supervisors, administrators, states, and curriculum developers to promote technology and engineering education program development and curriculum design from Pre-K through twelfth grade.

How can you build a container to hold at least SIX apples, that you pick up and carry with only ONE hand, then carry for 100 feet or more???
