Technology in Engineering

  • Technology puts the T in STEM!  We believe technology is most effective when used to support learning.  This is especially true during our engineering design units.  Here are some ways we use technology in engineering...

    • The Internet is used to research important social studies or science concepts prior to engineering design challenges.
    • Our 3D printer and 3D printing software allow students to design and print their solutions to design challenges.
    • Probeware (electronic microscopes, thermometers, speed gates, etc.) are used for data collection.
    • Students use science and math tools to measure and collect data.
    • Coding opportunities: Beebots, Ozobots, Dash/Dot Robots, Vex Go Robots, Blockly programs
    • When students create a product to solve a problem, they have created technology!
