Welcome To 7th Grade Technology Education!

My name is Mr. Kroeplin and I am the Technology Education teacher.  During the next 9 weeks our students will be learning about different worlds of technology.  They will start with the basics of how to define technology and what the difference is between science and technology.  They, they will learn to use various modern tools of invention and design including 3D solid modeling software (both mechanical and architectural).  Students will study Thomas Edison and will learn that he was just like you and I.  Design, engineering, technical reading, problem solving activities and hands-on technology exploration will help our students to be better prepared for modern technological demands.
