Exciting AGST Hands on Activity for Elementary Students:

Elementary teachers now have the opportunity to allow their students to experience woodworking in a classroom setting utilizing the APPLIED DESIGN SKILLS AND TECHNOLOGIES curriculum.
The Elementary Woodshop Program provides a cross-curricular component that touches on traditional subjects such as math and science but also delves into drafting, power technology, entrepreneurship and an introduction to trade careers and includes a lesson discussing Aboriginal perspectives and knowledge which has been reviewed by an Indigenous Education Resource Teacher. The lessons encompass many of the learning standards in the new curriculum and is geared towards different grade levels.
Currently we have a number of custom activities with elementary classes occurring at the high school but we will soon be mobile allowing us to visit with both supplies and equipment.
