No, the grandkids address me the same as the others. Special privileges do apply to needing a ride home some evening, or lunch money that was forgotten! Tech program has grown out of the old industrial arts tradition, but does not resemble it much. As science is the study of the natural world, Technology Education is the study of the man-made world; in other words, "how stuff works!" The lab is equipped with a series of "modules" that take about ten class periods to complete and each address a particular type of modern technology. I have 6th-7th-8th graders involved in Electricity, Electronics, Lasers and Fiber Optics, Rocketry and Space, Fudamentals of Flight, Stess Analysis, Home Design, Controls and Sensors, Aerodynamics, Robotics, Graphic Design, Computer Animation, CAD, CNC Milling, CNC Lathe, Plastics, and Energy Conservation. Some of the modules are more computer-driven, some are more hands-on. In addition, we build small bridges using the West Point Military Academy bridge contest software, build and race small magnetic levitation cars, make and launch rockets, build and fly rubber-band-powered airplanes, and do a lot of problem-solving activities. Classes are elective, nine weeks, and large. I see about 165 kids in class per day, and sponsor two after school robotics clubs that enter contests for LEGO and VEX robotics. The course changes as technology evolves, every day is different, and nobody has more fun all day long than I do!
