Applied Design, Skills and Technologies
In 2016 British Columbia launched a new Applied, Design, Skills and Technologies curriculum which it describes as “an experiential, hands-on program of learning through design and creation that includes skills and concepts from traditional and Aboriginal practice; from the existing disciplines of Business Education, Home Economics, Information Technology, and Technology Education; and from new and emerging fields. It envisions a K-12 continuum fostering the development of the skills and knowledge that will allow students to create practical and innovative responses to everyday needs and problems.”
