• NOV 13, 2017 Board of Directors Meeting• Technology Education Curriculum Review Update to Board• Secondary Course Update in Technology Education

• In 21st century schools, students become makers and learners, teachers become facilitators and activators, and physical spaces become learning studios and learning commons.

• The future of education cannot be about giving students the skills to fill jobs; it must be about fostering in them the skills to create and sustain jobs. One of the most essential skills in today’s world: the ability to innovate.• Great innovators create useful solutions facilitated by a variety of design skills: needs

assessments, user research, interviewing, data analysis, and experimentation.

21st Century Schools

21st Century Schools

Wissahickon School District K‐12 Vision:“In a Twenty‐First Century learning environment, it is the intention of the Wissahickon School District to promote a culture in which students construct meaning through doing. Students will be given the opportunity to engage in purposeful and authentic real world challenges that require them to apply their learning in cross‐disciplinary and innovative ways. In our efforts to prepare students to be both career and college ready, we will provide problem‐based learning opportunities in flexible learning environments that require them to think creatively and critically, and collaborate with othersfrom the school community and well beyond.”

21st Century Teaching and Learning• K‐12 opportunities for WSD students to engage in hands‐on activities that support academic learning and promote experimentation, collaboration, and a can‐do mindset.

• Elementary – Role of the librarian restructured to support collaborative, cross‐curricular projects (pilot commenced in 2015‐16, with full implementation in Fall 2017)

• Middle School – Maker Space, implemented in Fall 2015, is a place to extend learning through exploration of interdisciplinary applications, digital fabrication (3D printer), assembling simple structures, and technical challenges

• Integration of computer science activities and programs (e.g. Hour of Code, Boys and Girls Who Code, Secondary Robotics teams)

• The district’s goal is to continue to create meaningful experiences for our students that make learning so powerful and memorable that they’ll continue to seek out these types of experiences through high school and post‐graduation.

Engineering Program• Engineers find solutions to pressing problems by turning their ideas into a reality.

• Our goal is to foster a program offering transformative learning experiences in an engaging, hands‐on environment that empowers students to develop high demand knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the global economy.

• Adopt a problem‐solving mindset• Real‐world applications and challenges• Develop collaborators and thinkers• Learn from mistakes and through reflection• Pertinent to all learners regardless of their career path

Engineering Program

What it will be…• Learning happening mostly through making, doing, building, shaping and inventing • Emphasizes the notion of learning to design through the process of making• Dream up, design and make almost anything imaginable using cutting‐edge software and equipment to bring digital ideas to a physical reality

• Projects and problems provide a venue for students to invent, prototype, design, innovate, collaborate, and make mistakes

What it will not be…• A prescribed series of steps from start to completion• Limiting cookie‐cutter products• Traditional ‘shop’ class

Engineering Program

The Engineering Design Process anchors the redesigned Engineering program within the Technology Education program. Students will learn to solve real problems by applying both academic knowledge and innovative thinking to design solutions, by conducting research, creating and testing prototypes, sharing results, and reflecting on those results.

The design cycle is all about reiteration, trying something again and again until it works, and then, once it works, making it better.

Engineering ProgramHow will our program shift?• Individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and problems

• Develop planning, documentation, communication, and other professional skills, including project management, peer review, and an understanding ethical issues related to professional practice and product development

• Digital and manufacturing equipment/tools support creation of physical models of design elements and product building using varied materials, including wood, plastics, and metal

• Reverse engineering to disassemble/analyze products and manufacturing systems

• Mathematical concepts and statistical analysis essential to potential solutions to meet physical constraints, alternate design solutions, and estimating associated costs

• Understand site development for residential and commercial facilities, meet applicable building codes, and analyze the implications of various construction materials and utilities, systems, and services

Engineering ProgramHow will our program continue to grow?• Extends to problems that engage a broader range of engineering, further developing strategies that enable students to direct their own learning

Mechanisms and Machines…Solar Energy…

EXPLORE AND SOLVE PROBLEMS INVOLVING

Aerospace Flight…Strength of Structures…

Wind Energy…Automation, Kinematics, Manufacturing…

HOW WILL WE BESTSUPPORT THESE TYPES OF

COURSES?

WHS FAB LAB!

What is the Fab Lab?• The fabrication laboratory (Fab Lab) is a place where students can collaborate, design, prototype, test, and build innovative solutions using cutting‐edge technology and manufacturing tools. The labs are meant to stimulate creativity and spark innovation.

• A fab lab is not solely a tinker lab, a woodshop, a metal shop, or a computer lab, but it contains elements found in all of these spaces – it is designed to accommodate a wide range of activities, tools, materials, and equipment.

• A physical, intellectual, and collaborative space where students can come together to develop new ideas and test new ideas.

Computer Design Software

Collaborative Work Stations

Wood Manufacturing Equipment

Metal Manufacturing Equipment

Routing, Cutting, Etching

Table‐Top Milling 3D Printing Prototype Testing

What is the Fab Lab?

Opportunities for cross‐curricular collaboration• Marketing and Entrepreneurship, Interior Design, Artistic Design, STEM

Career and College Readiness• Interdisciplinary activities designed to develop life‐long skills such as problem‐solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance

• Support students in the exploration of career opportunities in a variety of areas such as engineering, technology, design, and manufacturing.

• Post High School Excellence Plan

Changes in the PA Certification • Industrial Arts Technology Education
