Technology Education
& Career Exploration! Have a safe and restful
summer. START SMART - The
Technology Education and Career Exploration program at Cocopah Middle School is
designed to introduce students to various areas of technology and careers
through hands-on activities. While working with a partner, students will learn
about aerodynamics, animation, architecture, career opportunities,
communications, construction, computer design, digital photography,
manufacturing, rocketry, transportation, virtual reality, and other
technologies, and how each of these impact our lives. Careers in a variety of
these areas will be explored. A module
system is used in this program. It encourages students to become responsible
for their own learning. Each module lasts for five to ten days. Students will
receive direct and self-directed instruction in the Tech Lab. By providing an
even balance between computer driven, video, written, and hands-on instruction,
students will be motivated and energized to stay on task. Students will be
required to work on the module assigned and keep a portfolio current. If a
student is absent during their Tech Lab period, they are still expected to
participate by completing an absentee activity. A list of absentee activities
is available from the instructor or may be found on this web site under Absentee Activities. Failure
to follow any safety instructions could result in receiving a warning, having
parents called for conference, disciplinary action from the assistant principal
or principal, and/or being suspended from the Tech Lab. 6615 East Cholla Street Scottsdale, Arizona 85254 Phone: 480.484.4400 ext. 4262 This site is always under construction. When using this page be sure to follow copyright
