7^th Robotics- 1:45-3:15

This semester class is an opportunity for you to become familiar with basic principles and skills needed for designing, engineering, fabricating, troubleshooting, programing and operating robotic equipment. Enrollment in this class doesn’t require you to be a member of school’s FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) the VIKotics, which season begins in January. However, we will be working with equipment from the FRC and I will encourage all students to join the FRC team for a great extra curricular opportunity.

Tuesday/Thursday

4^th CADD- 10:10-11:45

Students will learn how to design 3 dimensional parts and structures through the use of Onshape software which is free and web based so students can have access off campus to work on their projects. This class will utilize CNC equipment including our CNC router, 3d Printers, and our vinyl cutter to make personal projects. This will be a self paced class where student's grades will be based on effort and progress not aptitude or ability.

6^th Structural Systems- 12:10-1:40

This Class is our Ag Mechanics class that focuses on Structural Systems. Please look at p. 10 of the FFA Ag Mech CDE Handbook for details of what competencies and objectives we will cover in this class.
