Summer school for-credit “tech” courses are designed to help students ease the congestion of the regular school year by “off-lining” some of their required courses to the summer. Other students may simply wish to augment their education or explore new interests. All courses are hands-on, project-oriented and focus on real-life scenarios and applications. Often projects integrate topics from other TCA courses for extra reinforcement! Regardless of where you are in the technology spectrum, we offer something for you! Reasonable keyboarding skills are presumed. Generally speaking, all assignments are completed in class with very little (if any) outside work required.

Parents take note! If you wish to explore these interests, too, you are welcome to join us also! See US Technology Head Kent Pendleton for details.

All summer school technology students are requested to bring their TI calculators, a spiral notebook (journal), a three-ring binder, a pencil, pen and USB flash drive to class the first day. A “supply check” that first day will be one of your first grades for the week, so don’t forget your stuff! Also, please bring a sack lunch and a drink...refrigerators will be available. Students will also bring snacks to class on a rotating basis.

Credit cannot be given if a student misses more than four hours of class.

The following introductory classes are designed for “beginners” with very little background, confidence or proficiency in the use of contemporary software.

Once you can create a webpage, make it look ‘nice’ with Photoshop and CSS and get it to do some tricks with JavaScript, the next step is giving it the ability to store and retrieve information from an online database. Once you can do this, the design (and consulting!) possibilities are unlimited! PHP and MySQL are technologies that allow you to manipulate, store, retrieve and process data that can dynamically change the fabric of a webpage and allow a user to experience all the features of a modern web experience. Many current TCA students have used this knowledge to begin real-life consulting careers in high school. Join us in this valuable class! n Instructor: Kent Pendleton
