Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Coding
The Lawndale Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Coding (TREC) Program introduces students to these technology concepts in elementary school through school Makerspaces. The program continues into middle school through elective classes. Students participate in hands-on learning to explore engineering challenges with various building materials and learn and practice coding skills through work with robots.
Each elementary school has a designated Makerspace, a room with learning materials to support the TREC goals. In middle school, students may take a technology elective to continue their learning in this area.
Students learn specific California Computer Science standards through this work, providing exposure to computer science concepts.
