Tech Systems Fall
Recent ActivityInstructor: D. FISKE
Tech Systems is comprised of a lab and workshop, and is very “hands-on”. The lab utilizes Pitsco’s Synergistic Learning System which contains individual modules addressing different areas of technology and science, such as Flight Simulation, CADD, Computer Animation, Aerodynamics (rocket & CO2 race car), and Physics experiments. The workshop contains power machinery and tools to educate the students on the fabrication process.
Announcements  Coming: Building TrebuchetsWe are exploring and constructing minature trebuchets.
We then will wage minature war on one another.  Currently: Building Balsa Wood BridgesIt's a contest : who can build the strongest bridge !
We use a "Pulley Bulley Bridge Tester" to find the champ.  Currently: Soldering CurcuitsUsing soldering irons we put together electronic curcuit boards. Transisters, resisters, and tin, Oh My !
 Building 3D PuzzlesOver a hundred pieces, no instructions and one picture.
Yet they still figure it out.  Building RocketsWe build'em, then shoot'em. The target varies depending on how well the manufacturing process goes.
