This is a semester course that all 8th grade students are required to take.  In  this class, students will introduced to and use the design process to solve problems.  Students will be  learning the basics of an industry based 3D modeling software to create a virtual image of their designs and then will have a chance to build thier designs.  This class will prepare students for future high school PLTW engineering classes at Washington. 

Some of the projects we will be completing this year are dragsters, mag-lev vehicles, and an air skimmer.
