Robotics and Automation Pathway:
Automation and Robotics is a two-year program that will focus on tackling real-world projects, connecting with the local automation industry and providing internship opportunities. Students will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to program, safely operate, and troubleshoot industrial robots and automation controllers.
Students will learn to code and debug programs on industrial robots and automation systems in a number of programming languages. Students will gain necessary knowledge to operate industrial robots and automation controllers as well as get certified as operators.
Students will also compete in local and regional robotics competitions and be eligible for scholarships based on their success.
Students will complete projects, such as:
-
Teaching the robot to pick up and place items, write and/or draw as art projects
-
Managing controls systems in an amusement park scenario
-
Writing programs that will simulate real world scenarios such as traffic intersections, car washes and assembly lines
-
Collaborating with the other pathways to encourage automation, such as watering and feeding in agriculture and green houses
Education Professions Pathway:
Students will be exposed to the many career options as a licensed educator, including those that support students and families outside of the classroom. They will have the opportunity to explore working with various grade levels and occupations within a school district.
