At The Woods Academy, we believe that our students need a solid foundation in technology. This foundation includes understanding how technology works as well as being able to use technology to create. Not only do our classroom teachers integrate technology into their lessons, but an explicit technology curriculum is taught to our students beginning in Preschool.

Grade one students continue to learn about computer programming through Scratch Jr. Students learn problem-solving by programming their own interactive stories and games.

Grade 7 and 8 students explore the food science lab. Students learn about different growing techniques such as hydroponics. They build and program electronic sensors to take readings about the growing environment. Students also learn how to design objects for the 3D printer. They combine these designs with their electronics.
