I have a great group of students in grades 6-12 that take technology-related courses from me. Many of the kids I have in class have parents that are also products of our district. We are a close community rich in values and take pride in our history. My students include siblings in different grades, student athletes, honor roll students as well as those on the credit recovery tract. I am moving to a larger lab next school year, increasing our workable space dramatically. My junior high classes focus on robotics using the Lego Mindstorms kits. At the high school level, I teach classes that include graphics, stop-motion video production, CAD, and even using 3D printing to prototype ideas and solutions students design. Students are consistently engaged in the lessons we work on that include concepts from technology, engineering, robotics, math, and science. I, along with my fellow colleagues, take pride in the dedication to excellence our student body has.
