Science for Littles is a class geared for children ages 4 to 6 years old. We will be exploring different science concepts and doing weekly experiments in class that can be brought home to share with the family. This is a great introduction course for your little to develop a love of Science through experimentation and discovery.
This class will be a gentle introduction to the first 1-2 chapters of most high school science courses. We will focus on unit conversions, calculator skills, graphing, the metric system, the scientific method, scientific notation, and measuring. There will be a heavy emphasis on study skills such as: taking notes in class, test taking strategies, following directions, and gleaning appropriate information from word problems.
Requirements:
Students must have a TI-36X Pro Engineering/Scientific Calculator (approximately $20)
This course will introduce students (ages 13-18) to computer programming using the Scratch language, which was designed in 2007 by MIT to teach fundamental programming concepts to young people. The curriculum will focus on concepts for designing, programming, and developing a video game to help maintain student engagement, retention, and interest, but the skills learned apply to any kind of computer programming. The course will also include a presentation, as each student must “pitch” his game idea to an audience during the final week. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend those days! More information will be provided in Slack at that time.
This is a one semester course (16 weeks) that meets once a week. If students are not able to bring a laptop to class, additional time at the resource center may be required for them to use the FPHRC computer lab.
Students taking the Computer Programming Using Scratch course will learn: fundamental programming concepts, such as loops, variables, and conditionals; different areas of computer programming, including graphics, audio, and logic; understanding user interactions, interfaces, and events; formally defining and designing a computer program
Requirements:
Students must have the “Scratch Coding for Beginners” book, which can be purchased on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMLQ5Z2D . In addition, students must bring a laptop or tablet on which the Scratch app will be installed. (We will work to accommodate students who do not have access to a laptop or tablet in the FPHRC computer lab. This may require extra time in the lab so the student can complete homework outside of scheduled classroom time.) In addition, a notebook and pencil(s) for taking notes are required.

Ever dream of seeing your stories unfold on the silver screen? This course follows the class "Intro to Screenwriting," and exists to help student continue their journey to write a script for a movie. We continue to demystify the art and craft of writing for film and television. Having learned the process and structure of a story and created a scene by scene outline, we will move forward with more fundamental elements of cinematic storytelling, including visual storytelling, formatting, character development, dialogue, and scene construction. Through engaging lectures, in-class exercises, and constructive feedback, you will learn the essential tools and techniques to bring your cinematic visions to life on the page. By the end of the semester, you will have developed a strong foundation in screenplay format and completed a short screenplay of your own. Get ready to unleash your inner storyteller and take the first step towards Hollywood!
