Class Description:
Our Technology Lab is a place where students can explore several different technologies through hands-on, engaging, student-centered,practical project and problem-based activities, both individual and in collaborative teams. While the class is designed to provide students an overview of various existing technologies, it also introduces students to emerging technologies, helps them to develop an understanding of the role of technology in the world, further develops critical thinking and problem solving skills, and helps students to begin thinking about possible career interests and opportunities in STEAM fields. I am especially interested in getting young women interested in STEAM careers!
