The program involves students in computer hardware, software and networking and also includes the study of industrial robotics and experimental science. Each student becomes part of a group project. The projects range from preparation and completion of testing for certification for CNE and CNA to devising robotic workcell software for the local Ford Truck Assembly plant or research to building an experiment to fly on the NASA Space Shuttle.
Students normally join the program in ninth grade and stay for four years.
Our liaison with Novell for this activity was sought after and pursued by the student. We encourage this type of self-initiative.
