Technology Education

All technology courses are exploratory programs in which students investigate the nature of technology as it applies to technical-industrial methods, daily lives, consumer choices, the environment, hobbies and the development of attitudes and skills necessary for today’s increasingly technological world. It is a curriculum area in which students use problem solving techniques to plan for, design, create and experiment with technology. By working with tools, materials and power equipment, students relate academic education topics to occupational and leisure activities; a meaningful and practical experience. The technology program involves hands-on applied education in the classroom. All students should consider a technical component to their education.
