Technology Foundations
Technology Foundations is designed as the beginning high school course in technology education. Students acquire a foundational knowledge in technological material, energy and information and apply processes associated with the technological thinker. Laboratory activities engage students in creating new ideas and innovations, building systems, and analyzing technological products to learn further how and why technology works. Working in groups, they build and control systems with engineering in the development of a technology.
Technology Transfer
Students work with a variety of computers, materials, and systems to improve their skills and knowledge. Groups work together, applying mathematics, science, and communication concepts, on a project that combines systems such as production, energy, communication, transportation, biotechnology, and other technologies. Thematic activities engage students in community problems where they transfer the technological method to address recycling, space exploration, and housing.
