Pathway: Business Information Technology -Business, Marketing and Public Administration Pathway: Computer and Information Sciences – STEM, Arts, Design and Information Technology

Students learn the fundamentals of technical support of hardware and software systems through hands-on collaboration with school and district technical staff. Technical Support Interns will begin by learning how to provide customer service and how to use the ITS Help Desk Software System. Then interns will transition into providing service, hands-on troubleshooting, and repairs of malfunctioning hardware and software in their schools. After the first school year of participation, as interns gain advanced skills and expertise, options for online technical certification programs will be offered.

Pathway: Industrial Science and Technology - STEM, Arts, Design and Information Technology Pathway: Computer and Information Sciences - STEM, Arts, Design and Information Technology

In Introduction to Robotics, students will:

• understand fundamental computer programming concepts

• employ the engineering design cycle through inquiry

• understand basic physics and physical science concepts • use programming concepts related to robotics

• engage in teamwork and collaboration

• participate in robotics competitions

• learn about the robotics industry

Project-based curriculum teaches the design process in an engaging, hands-on manner to help teachers challenge, motivate and inspire their students. By moving students through an actual engineering project, students quickly understand the relevance of what they are learning. The curriculum is created to ensure that students with varying learning styles and levels can accomplish the lesson goals. No prior robotics experience, required; beginners are able to advance sequentially through the units to gradually increase their knowledge and skill level.
