Tech Ed 8
Technology and Engineering
In 8th grade, students explore robotics engineering and computer engineering through the use of VEX IQ Robotics. Students will also learn about the Engineering Design Process and use it to complete various challenges throughout the course.
Below you will find a brief overview of what we did each day so that you can revisit or get caught up should you have to miss class. Please be sure to visit our Schoology page and look at the “Classroom Overview/Expectations” for specifics of what to do should you miss class.
