Weber Tech Ed:
Students take classes in TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION in 6th and 8th grades.
6TH GRADE
BRIDGE BUILDING w/ Mr. Shampanier: Students build scale-model Truss Beam wooden bridges. When completed, each bridge is tested to find the highest strength-to-weight ratio.
BOATS w/ Mr. Stepanek: Students design and create their own rubber-band powered boats. Boats are raced in a five foot long tank for the fastest or slowest boat.
PROBLEM SOLVING w/ Mr. Czachor: Students work in groups to brainstorm ideas and solve problems by building things and competing in contests.
SCRATCH w/ Mr. VanKurin: Students will learn about coding and programming with Scratch.
8TH GRADE
AIR-POWERED DRAGSTER CARS w/ Mr. Shampanier: Having learned the concepts of aerodynamics, drag, friction and weight, students engineer the fastest car. Powered by compressed air – the lightest, and most aerodynamic car wins!
ROBOTICS w/ Mr. Stepanek: Students learn about the concepts and application of robotics.
VIDEO w/ Mr. Czachor: Students brainstorm ideas to compete in a variety of problem solving contests.
ARCHITECTURE w/ Mr. VanKurin: Students use a computer to design a 500 sq. ft. apartment and a 2500-3000 sq. ft. house.
