The Tech Prep Program is for Lanphier High
school Students (9th, 10th, 11th grade).
The purpose is to introduce careers in technology. The method of delivery
will be based on technology group and individual projects. Students will
create PowerPoint presentations on approved topics (sports, hobbies etc.)
Students will also research on Technology jobs
– like web design, graphic arts, software engineering or network
administration. The students will role play certain occupations making up
fictitious business models and designing company logos and developing a
product or service.
The culmination of these events will be a
“Family Night” where the students will give their PowerPoint presentation
and displays of their work will be exhibited. All students will receive a
certificate for their participation.
