4th and 6th grade fieldtrips to learn about Graphic Communications
4th and 6th grade GATE students went to Tricounty Technology Center to learn about Graphic Communications skills and careers. Students worked on Illustrator and Photoshop on iMacs to began designing a front cover that will later become their own spiral notebook. They then learned the entire printing process of creating lined paper, cutting, folding, and punching holes along with other mechanical printing processes as well as working with vinyl. Students were able to bind their spiral notebooks and create Dewey themed note pads they could take back with them.
Students also toured the facility and learned about the Pre-Engineering, Welding, and Mechanical classes that Tri-county has to offer.
Overall, it was a really great day! One 4th grader said "this place is like technology heaven" where another excitedly boasted "I want to take classes here!" We are proud of the resources our local community offers! Thank you Tricounty Technology for hosting our fieldtrip and letting our students see what a day in the life of graphic design might look like.
