What is Technology?
Technology is the application of knowledge and resources to extend and enhance our human capabilities. Technology Education involves students with the human imagination, its engineered devices, tools, and processes, in order to build knowledge and skills.
As a school subject, Technology Education develops the technological literacy and capabilities of students. This curriculum focuses on the development and applications of technology, and the effect that technology has on people, society and the environment. The knowledge and skills learned are: 1) standards based; 2) broad and comprehensive; 3) derived from applications of technology in industry; and 4) interdependent with society.
The purpose of Technology Education is to provide the knowledge, competencies, skills, and opportunities for students to succeed in a technological society. It integrates skills from other content areas such as math, science, and language arts with the knowledge and skills unique to this content area. Social aspects, historical impacts, present conditions, and future implications are addressed in the teaching and learning environments. Technology Education simulates the workplace, including the cultural and social interactions that occur therein.

West Point Bridge Builder
Founded in 1802, the United States Military Academy at West Point was the first school in the U.S. to offer a formal program of instruction in engineering. During the first half of the 19th century, civil engineering was the foundation of the West Point curriculum. Academy graduates of that era designed and built many of the young nation's railroads, bridges, harbors, and roads.
The Science of Speed
This site is dedicated to the pursuit of designing and building CO2-powered racecars and making them go fast. This is done by employing an understanding of physical forces at work.
CO2 racing is enormously fun and motivates students to learn. During the last 30 years, tens of thousands of students have shared in the experience.
