VEX Robotics 8th Grade Technology Elective

Technology

​Perice students use technology to design, innovate, and solve problems in school or the community while exercising ethical digital citizenship and grasping and understanding basic and complex websites, programs, and apps.

Primary Years Programme - ICT  (Information Communication and Technology)
Students use technology and its tools
capably to solve problems while integrating technologies in as many subject areas as possible. Using a scaffolding approach, Peirce students acquire many tech tools beginning in kindergarten through 5th grade. In today's changing tech world, students can adapt and transfer skills to any new technologies.

Middle Years Programme Design Class 
"Inquiry and problem-solving are at the heart of the subject group. MYP design requires the use of the design cycle as a tool, which provides the methodology used to structure the inquiry and analysis of problems, the development of feasible solutions, the creation of solutions, and the testing and evaluation of the solution. In MYP design, a solution can be defined as a model, prototype, product or system that students have developed and created independently." -- From the IB Design Cycle Handbook.

Technology Coordinator

My name is Ms. Andrade and I am the computer/Design Teacher at Peirce. I am a graduate of National Louis University where I pursued a Masters in Educational Technology. As the Tech Teacher, my goal is to instill in students a love of Coding (Computer Science) and Problem Solving. Technology and its gadgets are great tools to solve problems. It is this mentality I try to impart on students everyday, all day, from Kindergarten to 8th grade.
