Also they work in groups to produce a radio commercial for a product of their choosing. After completing the communication portion of the class, students study construction that includes designing a bridge that you build and test. The students learn about modern technology in the computer portion of the course. They are introduced to basic circuitry and participate in electronic lab activities.
Students then move on to computer technology where they take apart and rebuild a computer.
During all three courses, there is an emphasis on teamwork and the importance of technology in our lives. TSA is also greatly stressed in all courses. Tabb's Technology Education classes are unique in that they endow students with knowledge not only by studying technology, but by hands-on projects that give students a greater understanding and more importantly, a comprehension of how important technology education is to our daily lives. TSA, which stands for the Technology Student Association, is a student-led club that meets every Tuesday after school. Open to both young men and women, problem-solving and leadership skills are used to prepare for competitive events at the regional and state level.
