Shop 2.0 (Mechanical P&D) employs the STEAM educational approach, utilizing Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics to guide students as they explore time-tested methods of building, creating, modifying, and repairing through small individual projects and larger team-based assignments. The purpose of this class is to teach students the fundamentals of problem solving, craftsmanship, and self-sufficiency. Concepts, theories, and methods taught in a traditional classroom setting will be applied to authentic, hands-on projects so students can practice and apply what they learned. Additionally, all students will gain working knowledge of both hand and power tools that emphasizes respect and safety. In short, Shop 2.0 is designed to help individuals become students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embrace collaboration, and work through the creative process.
