This course provides students the opportunity to pursue a topic of interest using the knowledge, skills, and insights gained from previous workforce development and academic courses. Emphasis is placed on student directed study and evaluation of a technological concept or application of technological tools. The assessment is structured to assure student identification of integrated science, mathematics, and language arts objectives. Students work on an individual or small group project under the guidance of a technology teacher with input and involvement from other vocational and/or academic teachers. Students investigate technological concepts and apply the tools of technology to better understand other fields of study. The topic(s) of study must be approved by the teacher. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course include job shadowing, apprenticeship, and internship. This course and TSA technical and leadership activities allow students to pursue in-depth research and experimentation within technical, scientific, and engineering fields.

Tech Studies is a class that never lacks diversity of ideas and cool equipment. "A class that you learn on your own with help from a teacher" explained to us by Thomas Khidhathong who is taking Tech Studies". This semester we have everything from video editing, advanced web page designing, and building a radio controlled robot. Other projects include being a team leader on the EV Challenge, clay-mation video sequencing, Mission to Mars project, as well as working on independent projects with our CNC machine .
