Course descripiton
This class offers instruction in four disciplines;
fabrication, electronics, web design, and programming,
each with its own set of tools, techniques, hardware,
software, space requirements, and time management
challenges. Students will develop a strong foundational
understanding of these fields through note taking,
classroom discussions, exercises, and hands-on projects.
Students will start by learning traditional woodworking
tools, using them to fabricate a car stereo system and
wiring its components. Next, they will delve into
programming, exploring C/C++ with Arduino
microcontrollers and using this knowledge to
write programs to control electronic components.
Throughout this course, students will be encouraged
to utilize the Stanford Design Thinking Process in
order to create innovative projects. This process
will guide them as they conceive, develop, test,
and iterate their ideas. As a culmination project,
students will design a fifteen page website using HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript to showcase their work across all
four disciplines. Upon completing this class, students
will have acquired the technical skills necessary to
succeed in high school and in a global and digital world.
