9618767 Benenson Technology is broadly defined to include the entire array of artifacts, systems and processes which constitute the designed - as opposed to the natural - world. Examples in the lives of students include the toys, appliances, utensils, furniture, clothing, timepieces and fastening devices of everyday life, the arrangements of furniture, the organization of the school day, and methods of facilitating smooth flow of traffic within the school. City Technology Curriculum Guides provide ideas for helping children to analyze existing technologies and to develop, build, and test their own designs. Topics include Structures, Mapping, Mechanisms, Environmental Analysis and Design, Coding Information, Fixing and Fastening, Electrical Appliances and Toys, and Measuring Time. A parallel Workshop Leader's Guide is intended for teacher educators responsible for professional development workshops. The development of the Guides is a collaborative effort of engineering and education faculty at CUNY City College and elementary and middle school teachers in New York. Summer workshops introduce the existing materials and the new topics to a group of experienced teachers. Each of the first two academic years, they will pilot test four Guides in their classrooms. During the third year of the project, the new Guides will be field tested in two sites in the New York City area, two sites in the Northeast, and two sites in other locations across the nation. Upon completion of field testing and editing, the Guides will be available commercially.

9618767贝纳森技术的广义定义包括构成设计世界的整个人工制品、系统和过程，而不是自然世界。学生生活中的例子包括日常生活中的玩具、电器、器皿、家具、衣服、钟表和紧固装置、家具的安排、学校日的组织以及促进学校内部交通畅通的方法。城市技术课程指南提供了帮助儿童分析现有技术以及开发、构建和测试他们自己的设计的想法。课程包括结构、测绘、机械、环境分析和设计、编码信息、固定和紧固、电器和玩具以及测量时间。平行讲习班领导指南是为负责专业发展讲习班的教师教育工作者编写的。指南的开发是CUNY城市学院的工程学和教育学教员与纽约的中小学教师共同努力的结果。暑期工作坊向一群经验丰富的教师介绍现有的材料和新的主题。在头两个学年，他们将在教室里试行四个指南。在该项目的第三年，新的指南将在纽约市地区的两个地点、东北部的两个地点和全国其他地点的两个地点进行现场测试。在完成实地测试和编辑后，指南将投入商业使用。
