Technology
In the Technology Department, a number of ambitious projects are underway. In 2005, two students constructed cedar strip canoes as their Independent Study Project under the tutelage of Mr. Mark Backman. Another project is pulling together skills from all the shops. It is the construction, from scratch, of a clone of the iconic 1960s Lotus 7 sports car. The project is based on the specifications for a Locost sports car design by British educator and engineer, Ron Champion. Project Co-ordinator is Mr.Austin Epema, automotive consultant is Mr. Dave Dickie, and Metal Fabrication consultant is Mr. Dave Clarke. Computer aided design and blueprinting is supervised by Mr. Stefan Stravato. The project is being built primarily by students. Generous financial aid has come from local businesses. The finished product will be raffled off with proceeds going to local charities.

“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
