Philosophical Assumptions
Technology & Engineering is the application of technology, innovation, and design through the integration of STEM (the concepts of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in order to solve real-world problems.
The Littleton Public Schools Technology & Engineering curriculum provides students with concrete, hands-on learning experiences in a laboratory environment. These experiences will involve critical and creative thinking activities that require planning, designing, building, and testing.
The Technology & Engineering curriculum will develop independent, self-directed and life-long learners who will:
apply tools, machines, materials, and processes safely and efficiently
gain knowledge and skills related to diverse technological systems, including functions and applications
understand the nature and impact of technology
solve problems using a systems approach, higher-level thinking skills, collaboration, ingenuity, and resources
apply and integrate concepts and skills learned in other curricular areas
discover and develop personal interests, talents, and abilities related to technology
explore post-secondary opportunities and careers related to science, technology, engineering and math
