The Technology content area includes which topics?

• A. Personal Finance
• B. Fashion & Housing Design
• C. Health & Safety
• D. Environment

Answer: (B)

Technology focuses on using tools, materials, and design processes to create and improve items used in daily life. Fashion and housing design fit this area because they involve applying technical knowledge to design, test, and manufacture clothing and interior spaces—from selecting fabrics and construction methods to solving problems with materials and space planning. This makes them the best match for topics that center on applying technology to design and product development. Personal finance, health and safety, and the environment relate to other FCCLA content areas—finances, wellness and safety, and ecological topics—so they aren’t the primary focus of the Technology area.
