Students at St. Oscar Romero Catholic Secondary School are actively exploring the dynamic fields of engineering and architecture through the Technological Design courses taught by Mr. Lopreiato, a former architect.
Through hands-on, experiential learning, students are engaged in a variety of innovative projects. These include constructing complex jigsaw structures that reinforce the principles of geodesic dome engineering, as well as designing and building engineered frame structures that are put to the test using an earthquake simulator.
Additional projects challenge students to design and test motorized watercraft and to create modular home systems, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
This course provides students with a strong foundation in design principles and engineering concepts, helping to prepare them for post-secondary studies in architecture, engineering, and related fields.
