In Mr. Levy's Technology Education classes, students aren't just learning – they're creating. From the roar of the welding torches to the precision of the CNC mill, Mr. Levy's shop is often buzzing with activity as students explore a diverse range of skills.
One period, students might be crafting intricate wooden displays, demonstrating their understanding of materials and design. In the next class, students could be experimenting with epoxy resins, learning about chemical reactions and cultivating their creative aptitude. Welding class offers a unique blend of practical skills and creative problem-solving, culminating in projects like the construction of rocket stoves – a testament to the ingenuity of these young engineers.
"My classes are more than just about learning skills," says Mr. Levy. "They're about figuring things out, making mistakes, and learning from them. It's really empowering for the kids to have the ability to problem-solve in real time."
