What will we be doing this nine weeks?
We will be exploring many different subjects related to technology.
We will be doing hands on projects We will be working with computers and other
Hi-Tech Equipment We will learn how technology affects our lives We will hopefully have fun learning new
things
We will use MODULES to help us learn about technology A module consists of a computer, software,
and hands on equipment. You will work on a module for seven sessions,
and then you will rotate to a new one. Seven module sessions are called one
ROTATION You will usually have a partner to work with. The books in your module are called the
MODULE LIBRARY There are worksheets in the trays to go with
each module
List of Modules
Computer Graphics and Animation Robots CNC Manufacturing Computer Aided Design Electricity Creative Solutions CNC Lathe Engineering Bridges
