An inside look at student work within the Technical & Information Science Department

The Technical & Informational Science Department offers some pretty great electives at Steel Valley High School!

Courses include Graphic Design, Coding & Application Design, 3D Design, Architectural Design, Robotics, Home Maintenance, and Entrepreneurship & Marketing. In addition, a Career & Technology course is a required course for all freshmen for the Chapter 339 Career & Technical Information Portfolio.

In the Coding & Application Design Class, taught by Mrs. Williams, students use the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Science Academy to learn Python programming language.

"The Girl," created by senior Jaiden Jones.

"Sagittarius Zodiac," created by sophomore Geraya Watson.

 

"Carpe Diem," created by freshman Johnny Henderson.

"The City," created by junior Casey Rodgers.

For the freshmen Career & Technology course, students composed four long-term/short term goals, took an interest survey, researched careers, and learned the proper way to complete a job application and its significance.

In the 3D Design, Architectural Design, and Robotics classes that Mr. Lesutis teaches, students complete a wide variety of projects.

Students design custom keychains, phone holders, and other custom prints such as these cross country team logos created by Alex Brown.

Gannon Haddad created this robot fisherman in his Robotics class.  His fisherman can cast, reel, and turn his head.

Mirabelle Paulino is finalizing her floor plans of her dream home she created in her Architectural design class.

At the Middle School, one of the projects that Mr. Mamajek’s 7th graders make is a wooden puzzle. This puzzle is two sections with dial rod pins that interlock. You give it to a friend to try to unlock it and separate the two sections.

 Students utilized the new Laser Engraver to place their names on their wooden puzzles.

 The only way to open the puzzle is through centrifugal force, placing it on a surface and spinning it, forcing the pins back away from the center locking area.

If you or your student is interested in one of these electives, check out the student handbooks for more information about the courses and any prerequisites they may have. The student handbooks are available online.
