Construction Project at Marcos de Niza High School
In the Career and Technical Education Construction Technologies Program at Marcos de Niza High School, students explore skills, materials, methods, and processes that provide them with career awareness. The students obtain basic working knowledge of construction trade skills through hands-on experience in a lab setting, with emphasis on the safe use of hand tools, portable power tools, and stationary power equipment. This year the students are building a full-size shed that will be 8' wide and 16' deep. . The structure will include Framing, siding, plumbing, electrical, drywall, roofing and painting. The end goal of the program is to help the students find a skill that they will be looking at pursuing as a career.. The electrical system within a house can be daunting to the average person. After teaching my unit on home electrical systems, my students are amazed how simple the three-wire system is in residential construction.
