Goals

In outer space, cyberspace, in the workplace, on the roads, in the skies, everywhere we go, technology leads the way. Kennedy Junior High School students will not be left behind. Kennedy students will experience the excitement and promise of technology in our ""State-of-the-art"" Applied Technology Education Lab.

The modular approach to Applied Technology Education provides students with access to a variety of technical equipment and explorations. The applied technology program is a ""hands-on"" technology experience with equipment and software at each module. At a module, students complete some kind of project. Some projects are computer generated such as: computer drawings (CAD), architectural drawings, computer graphic designs, computer animations. Other projects are hands on projects such as: radio shows, balsa towers, plastic molds, CNC milled projects, robotic arm programs, video produced commercials, video edited storyboards and completed rockets.
