Technology 8:  Students are introduced to the nature of technology and the ways technological systems such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, and communication satisfy human needs and wants.  Coursework involves research, problem solving, planning, building, testing, and evaluating various processes, devices, and outputs of technology.  In addition, students are exposed to technological concepts such as control of processes, career opportunities, personal and social implications of technology, and the use of the computer as a tool.  This is the gateway course to the Project Lead the Way curriculum which students will have the option of continuing in high school. Students will experience field trips and public speakers to explore various careers and professions.
