The Hemingway Technology Room

In the Hemingway technology room, we study much more than computers.  We think of technology as anything made by people to solve problems.  It is a place where students learn how to fly airplanes on the flight simulators, design and build a model of their "Dream House", build and launch a solid fuel rocket capable of going hundreds of feet in the air, and learn about solar cars by designing and making them.

Students also have the opportunity to build their own toys, write a script for a commercial to theoretically sell the toy, video the commercial, and edit it on the computer, all to be shown on the semiweekly television show, Hemingway Weekly.  Robots are explored and programmed, with discussions on why they exist and how to make them better.  The environment is discussed, specifically how to be environmentally friendly and save our precious resources.

Students also have the opportunity to be involved in a daily morning television show broadcast live throughout the school.  They write, direct, film, edit and produce comedies and documentaries that are entered in a national competition.  Last year, one group of students from Hemingway won the best fiction video category in the Kid Witness News national video competition sponsored by the Panasonic Corporation.

This is the Hemingway Technology Room, where something exciting is always happening!
