Construction Technology Students Build Birdhouses Students in the first year Construction Technology program at the Marion County Career and Technology Center mastered a variety of useful skills last year. They experienced extensive basic construction site safety training and were taught hand tools, power tools, construction drawings reading, materials handling and construction math. Students tested their skills by completing multiple projects, one of which was building birdhouses. Students read the blueprints, measured all materials, cut material to size and assembled the birdhouses using a pneumatic nail gun. When the students return for the second year of the program, they will learn the entire process of building a house. Students will learn how to construct a foundation, as well as how to build an envelope system.
