COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) driven course.
Seventh grade students will explore aerospace engineering, history of flight, theory of flight, various propulsion systems relating to flight, and a specific focus on measurement, during the seven week related arts cycle. Each student will design, produce and evaluate several projects of varied difficulty. Components of transportation technology, communication technology, energy and power technology, bio-related technology, construction technology and medical technology may also be incorporated. Students will also utilize creative problem solving methods and engineering practices, coupled with state of the art manufacturing processes and software applications to develop prototypes of solutions to various design challenges.
