    This week in Technology and Design class, students were split into two groups to design rescue devices using limited materials. One group created a rescue device and the other created a container, and they had to work together to attach the devices and model a successful rescue. Later in the week, students learned about different STEM careers like robotics technicians and geneticists. On the last day of class, students may invent something innovative using given materials and vote on the best invention. Announcements noted that this was the last week in this class and next year a similar "Sea Perch" course will be offered where students build underwater robots.

    Technology and Design January 22nd

    What we did this week:


    This week, we created Rescue Devices. One group designed and created a
    rescue device and a second group created the container to use for rescuing
    someone or picking up cargo. They had the same supplies even though they had
    separate tasks. Each group was given 10 Popsicle sticks, 10 straws, 3 feet of
    masking tape, 4 feet of string, 1 piece of construction paper and 5 rubber bands.
    Each building task had its own requirements. The two groups then came together
    and had to work together to attach the two devices and model a successful
    rescue. I have uploaded pictures on my blog of the successful missions.
    Thursday, we looked at different careers that are in the STEM field. The
    careers we looked at were robotics technicians, geneticists, technological writers,
    and cartographers.
    If we have school on Friday, I plan on doing one last invention day. Students
    will be given a set of materials that they will need to create the most innovative
    invention using the materials. The class will vote on the invention they felt was the
    most innovative.
    Announcements:
    Tomorrow is the last day of the quarter. My gradebook is closed, so the
    grade that you see on Edline is the end of quarter grade for your child. All
    assignments that were collected this week, will be on next quarters grade.
    This is the last week your child is enrolled in Technology and Design.
    Starting next week, they will be starting their new elective they signed up. I had
    such a great time teaching this class. I hope they enjoyed it. Next year, there is
    another version of this course that will offered. It is called, Sea Perch. The
    official description of this course is: Students develop an understanding of the
    cultural, social, economic, and political effects of the technology; the role of
    society in the development and use of technology; and the influence technology on
    history. Students use engineering design, troubleshooting, research and

    development, invention and innovation, and experimentation in problem solving while


    learning to use and maintain technological systems. Students will research, design,
    construct, and test their sea perch device to solve a natural or manmade disaster.
    This course will involve making an underwater robot and testing it out at Naval Sea
    Systems Command in Carderock, MD. If you child is interested, look for this
    course being offered during registration next month.
