The course is intended for active teachers in school year K-6 who lack education in technology and technology didactics. The course should give an overview of the fields of technology that the curriculum mentions explicitly and knowledge of technology didactics to be able to teach about them. The main contents are about everyday technical solutions, mechanisms, solid mechanics, materials, electric connections, computers and programming as well as technical systems and sustainable development. The course also concerns development work in technology as well as documentation by means of sketches as well as physical and digital models. The contents are treated through both reading of literature and practical exercises.
