TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION
The Technology Education Department objective is to develop an interest in the technical field and applied sciences as an integral part of all students’ general education. The program develops a foundation of skills, knowledge and safety consciousness as related to materials and technical procedures that can be used both avocationally and vocationally now and in the future. A hands-on approach to problem solving, creating and constructing is emphasized throughout the program.
TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION 8 Technology 8 provides students with an introduction to courses in the technology education field. Both boys and girls will spend time in the areas of woodwork, electronics, metalwork, drafting, and technology where they will explore the basic concepts of each discipline. Students will learn how to use tools and equipment in each discipline; they will learn the required safety procedures to work in the fields; and they will apply their skills by making projects such as the gumball machine, the Winker Circuit, Balancing Fisherman, or other projects chosen by the teacher. Technology 8 provides students with the skills and knowledge to make wise decisions for subsequent technology courses and to acquire some very useful practical skills for adult years.
