students are remaking their education for a new generation of learners as part
of the region’s Remake Learning Days on May 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.Classrooms in our Technology Education Department will be open
for guests to see a variety of project-based learning lessons ranging in
subject areas from robotics and engineering to welding and 3D gaming.
In the high school library, several departments will come
together to display an amusement park based on the central theme of
biology where rides will be designed on a cell part analogy. This project is a
collaboration between the students enrolled in physics, biology, technology
education, business and graphics design. The model of the park will include
roller coasters and other amusement rides, and a business plan for marketing
and managing the park along. Sample park merchandise also will be on display.
