In Technology and Design class, students learn about:
  • Technology - using tech for good,
  • Designing - using pencils and computers, and
  • Building - using different mediums to produce an artifact
    (may include computer programming [coding] and woodworking).
Through activities and projects, students build resilience and grit.

Assessments: How is my work assessed?
  • Time - Did you use the full time productively?
  • Effort - Did you give your full effort?
  • Strategy - Did you use the requested strategy?
  • Quality - Is this work at your highest level?
Technology and Design is part of the "Practical and Related Arts (PRA)" rotation, so students travel with their homeroom to take this class for one term (maximum 30 class periods per year). 
Therefore, attendance is essential!  Our time is precious!
