Lab-volt’s Tech Design is an interactive Multimedia program used in Technology Education at both Preparatory schools. It is a program that manages curriculum delivery, student data, and teacher preferences for course delivery.

Grade Point 2020 is a program installed that allows the teacher to administer tasks such as station scheduling, grading, activity assignments, generating reports and monitoring student progress and activities.

Each station includes all dedicated supplies. Students take a pre-test, completes seven-nine lessons and then needs to be tested out with a post test.

Students will have the opportunity to explore career opportunities that relate to each workstation topic
