Virginia faces a significant shortage of technology education teachers for middle and high school levels. Contrary to common belief, technology education extends beyond computer literacy and mobile devices. It explores human-made innovations and maintains strong connections with science education, which focuses on the natural world. The curriculum encompasses technological systems, processes, and inventions, with hands-on lab components that allow students to engage with tools, materials, and concepts across diverse fields including healthcare, farming, life sciences, energy production, information sharing, logistics, industrial production, and building technologies.
