Grade 10

This course provides multilingual learners (MLLs) with opportunities to apply a design process to address a variety of technological challenges while building their English language skills and technical vocabulary. Students will research projects, create designs, and build models and/or prototypes, using tools, techniques, and strategies tailored to their needs. Projects may include designs for homes, vehicles, bridges, robotic arms, clothing, or other innovative products, with additional language supports to ensure comprehension and success.

The course integrates Catholic social teachings, encouraging students to become critical and innovative problem-solvers who reflect on the ethical and moral implications of technology. Through collaborative and hands-on learning, students will consider the responsible use of human and physical resources, respect for the dignity of the individual, and the protection of the environment. Scaffolding and language accommodations will ensure students can engage meaningfully in exploring environmental and societal issues related to technological design.

This adapted course supports MLLs by incorporating visual aids, peer collaboration, and opportunities for communication in both English and their first language. Students will also explore secondary and postsecondary education and training pathways, empowering them to build confidence and pursue careers in technological fields.
