We (both boys and girls) were required to take Home Ec AND wood shop in 7th and 8th grades. 7th grade was sewing for Home Ec and small wood projects for shop (I think I made a shelf); 8th grade was cooking in HE and a lamp out of a pop/beer can for shop.
My friend and I were the only two girls in the CAD class one year in high school. That was the coolest class and I way kicked all the guys' asses in it.
