In 6th Grade all students will have the opportunity to take Tech Ed during the school year. The goal of this class is to introduce students to the world of technology beyond cell phones and computers. The course is designed to revolve around measuring and allows students to grow in their abilities in math, science, and communication. Students will have varying learning opportunities to master the use of a ruler through other goals, such as: understanding, reading, and designing floor plans and architecture and the use of hand tools to measure, cut, drill, saw, and sand raw materials into finished products. Tool safety is also extensively covered in order for students to begin to work in a technological world outside of home and school. ======
