This is a four year program applicable for any student interested in an Engineering degree. The curriculum is project-based professional studies where students imagine, design and test new products for a global marketplace using systems approaches, computer-aided design and drafting, and computer numerical control systems. Projects challenge students to apply principles of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering and physics. Courses augment pathways in engineering, technology, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and more.
Pryor High School students have the opportunity to take Aviation I, II, and III at the high school, however Pryor High School will offer the students to take Aviation IV at the Innovation Center, where they will have the opportunity to build an RV-12 sport plane. Tango Flight is an applied learning course. This integrative course exposes students to various concepts of aerospace, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and design engineering, with an emphasis on aviation. Through in-house designed, aviation-focused curriculum, students explore a wide range of topics, including fundamentals and mechanics of aircraft and avionics equipment, aviation maintenance and inspection, and aircraft structure and assembly. The course applies and concurrently develops secondary knowledge, skills, and abilities in science, mathematics, and technology.
This is an engineering focused drafting course utilizing Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) software that develops computer skills and electronic skills and applications within engineering applications of drafting within manufacturing. Topics covered are advanced computer operations, CAD application software, and principles of structural drafting, process pipe drawings, electronic/electrical drafting and civil drafting.
The computer science pathway can be tailored to meet students where they are. We utilize CodeHS, CompTia, and Google Certification Courses curriculum and online learning platforms that will be customized to create a pathway unique to the each student and their career goals. We also offer a variety of computer science related elective courses to meet the students career and post-secondary goals.
This is full year program available for seniors. This course is designed for students interested in careers as a CNA, LPN, Registered Nurse, EMT, Paramedic, Firefighter, Police or Physician. This class meets in-person for a two hour period on Tuesdays and Thursdays, there is an online learning component that students are responsible for as well. In the spring there is a practical component that involves students participating in ride-alongs with an EMT. Upon completion students will be prepared to sit for the National Registry EMT Certification.
Students will participate in a competitive ESports league. Students will learn strategy, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. In addition, students will learn about careers related to ESports and video game development. Students will compete at team locations and through on-line tournaments.
The Innovation Lab is a hands-on, project based professional studies program for students, who wish to pursue a career in STEM related fields. Students will utilize equipment like 3D printers, plastic formers, laser cutting machines, and more, in our Tech Lab to develop and implement Passion Projects. These projects can be from just a few weeks in length, to a whole school year. Students will work their way through classic engineering processes, where they Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, and Improve their projects. Projects can be digital in nature, like cell phone apps or webpages, or they can be physical in nature, with mechanical and electrical parts. The sky's the limit, as students use critical thinking skills to develop a product that they can be passionate about!
Students will learn to design, build, program and control robotic devices. A rigorous study and application of electrical concepts will include: sources of energy, electrical safety, use and identification of basic electronic components, sensors and actuators. Engineering concepts will include: mechanical design, prototype development, design testing, programming and proper engineer documentation. First year Robotics students will use the Vex V5 Curriculum. Second year Robotics students will focus on First Robotics using FTC Robotics expanding their creativity and will follow by incorporating the FANUC Robotics Materials Handling component.
Senior students will work alongside the Pryor Public Schools maintenance staff. We have four seats available for students, two in the Fall and two in the Spring, with morning and afternoon options. Only one student intern will be working alongside Mr. Evans, this will ensure that the student intern will receive quality one-on-one instruction. Students will earn pre-apprenticeship hours and have the opportunity to sit for the OSHA-10 and EPA 608 Certifications.
