Course Description
The goal of this class is to you to better understand and shape the world around us. This is a project based course that engages you through solving problems that have no one right answer. This means you will design, draw (using CAD), construct, and then test their own designs. Possible assignments are: 3D printed RC car, a bridge, a hovercraft, a tower, C02 Racer, and a crash test egg car. Many of these projects will be designed and built within teams and this course will reinforce math, science, CAD and technology skills/knowledge through application.
Prerequisite: CAD
