Creative Technology
Creative Technology is exceptional, as it combines multiple topics of study into one unique class! The Understanding by Design (UbD) curriculum approach encourages student growth in the four essential C's of skill building: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. Throughout the grade levels, students will explore authentic opportunities for learning in areas of: coding, robotics, animation, and graphic design. Each level builds upon the last, as students master skills that can support future learning in any subject! For more details, see the course syllabi linked in the graphic for each grade level below:
