Foundations of Technology
This class will be a sampling of what we offer in the technology education department here at Penns Valley. We will work through different topics that correspond to classes offered at the high school level. Topics covered include the following: intro to technology, engineering design, measurement, drafting and 3d modeling, graphics, and robotics. Each of these topics will engage students with a variety of industry standard machines, softwares, and processes.
See attached syllabus below:
Technology Explorations
This class will be a more in-depth look at topics covered in the Foundations of Technology course. The class will begin with a review of some basic topics in technology, engineering design, measurement, and graphics. After our review, we will dive deeper into these topics based on student's interests.

Robotics 1
This class will cover a variety of topics relating to robotics. The course will review the engineering design process and begin with some robot basics. After learning the basics we will move into systems in a robot and begin learning about coding. After we are familiar with our robots and the basics we will complete a variety of challenges to test the students' skills!
See attached syllabus below:
Robotics 2
This class will allow students to design and compete with their very own battle bot. This class utilizes skills from various previous courses to act as a capstone engineering experience. Students will walk away with an engineering design documentation binder that could be used as an artifact for college/ job applications and interviews.

Materials Processing
This 18-week course will have students spending 9-weeks in a woodshop and 9-weeks in the metal shop. The focus is on the characteristics of wood and metal and how they can be processed into different projects. Many machines and skills will be introduced to gain a fundamental understanding of both the wood and metal shop. Students will have a choice in some of the projects that they complete.
