What Students Will Learn 

Tech 1 is a ten-day course for 6th and 7th grade students with themes reflect both current and expected future changes in technology, Space/High Technology, Water and Energy. Both the Water and Energy segments focus attention on the environment, including quality and conservation. Alternative, green sources, conservation and sustainability are subtopics for Energy.  Students will participate in a field trip to the Santa Clara County Water Treatment Plant in Alviso.

Tech 2 - Climate Science is a ten-day course for seventh and eighth grade students. It will emphasize ‘learning by doing’ and teamwork in hands-on projects based on the impacts of climate: extreme weather, wildfires and floods. Students will also explore alternative and sustainable energy sources and have a field trip to CalFire in Morgan Hill to learn first-hand about technology used in wildfire suppression. They will also gain better understanding of individual and community action to lower carbon footprints.

Tech 3 - Robotics - Students will have the opportunity to build and program robots.                                        

Tech 3 - Python Programming - Students will create Python-based applications.
