Bringing Ideas To Life
The Technology Curriculum is heavily based on a hands-on project-driven approach that involves students working in challenging environments as they develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enhance their ability to achieve success in school, work, and life.
In our Technology Department, we promote interdisciplinary learning from other subjects such as English, Art, Drama, Music, Business, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and Humanities into a fun course where students create assignments using professional tools, software, and techniques for self-expression and authentic learning experiences.
