Technology course offerings are designed to develop marketable, entry-level skills, as well as provide exploratory experiences for students planning to go onto a technical, two or four year college. We provide experience-based education through the use of “hands-on” activities taught through an investigative, problem solving approach. Students learn to work independently, as well as cooperatively in teams. Courses can be taken as free electives or as part of a planned sequence. From the traditional to the Engineering By Design classes, there is a course to fit every student’s interests and abilities. The Amsterdam Technology Department believes that our classes provide information that will help our students in the life-long learning process and lay the groundwork for college/technical school and career decisions.
