Teacher: Mr. Lara
Welcome to Gateway to Technology room A-1.
1. Design and Modeling
Students use geometry, problem-solving, teamwork, and project management skills to design and develop product prototypes.
2. The Science of Technology Students apply scientific principles and concepts of simple machines and energy to solve real-world problems.
3. The Magic of Electrons
Engaged in relevant hands-on projects, students unravel the mysteries of digital circuitry.
4. Automation and Robotics
Students design and build automated systems that incorporate the principles of electrons, physics, and robotics to gain an enriched understanding of the contemporary mechanical world.
The program focuses on showing, not telling, students how to use engineering skills to solve everyday problems. Students won’t ask, “Will I ever have to use this in real life?” because they will be applying their skills as they learn them. The primary focus is on stronger math, science, and technology inquiry skills.
