Due to popular interest, TechLAB courses are divided into two cohorts. Each cohort meets together for 30 minutes as an individual cohort, then 30 minutes with the other cohort in a larger group. For example, a student in TechLAB 7/8 Cohort A will meet with Mr Lamden on Tuesdays from 1:15-1:45pm, then Cohort B will join from 1:45-2:15pm. Cohort B will then continue with Mr Lamden from 2:15-2:45pm. This allows students to build relationships in smaller groups while still benefitting from large group instruction and discussion times. Once students are enrolled in TechLAB in Encom, Mr Lamden will reach out to let them know which cohort they should attend.
