| Industrial Technology Exploration is an elective class for 7th and 8th grade students. The class title says it all... students have a chance to explore many different aspects of technology.

 Learning how to use Adobe Photoshop |
Students rotate from station to station that gives them an opportunity to explore a wide variety of applications and careers in technology. There are also 9 different modules where students do experiments or construct a product and then test it using probes or other measuring devices that are hooked up to the computer. |
| Students test the shapes of different cars and/or aircraft to check the lift and drag on each shape and document their findings. The IT Exploration class uses a wind tunnel that works just like the real ones out in industry. Who knows, our students may become tomorrow's car designers and manufacturers! |
