Dive into the dynamic world of technology and engineering with Mr. Burgess in this 8th-grade curriculum, where students explore the realms of design versus building. The curriculum includes hands-on projects like the Egg Car and Piano, integrating subjects like math and science. Students delve into software tools like AutoCAD and Inventor, learn about manufacturing techniques such as injection molding, and engage in projects ranging from bridge-building to flight simulation. With a focus on problem-solving, creativity, and practical applications, students enhance their skills in communication and critical thinking. The curriculum also covers robotics with Fischer Techniks, gears, and programming, providing a comprehensive overview of modern engineering concepts. Join the journey of discovery and innovation with TE and GTT in this dynamic educational experience.
