8th graders review the definers of technology from the previous year.

We then explore welding and its use in our daily lives. Students explore welding by completing a basic stick arc and MIG welding problem.  From there they complete a drafting unit which prepares them to make their "boggler" board game from their drawing. Use of woodworking tools and machines is experienced while completing the project. They use plastic injection molding to make parts for the board game.
