In this introductory course students will learn about the basic structure of a website written in HTML. Learning through application, students will build their own HTML website from a basic, written, framework. Students will learn about the basic structure of a website, cascading style sheets, div blocks, how to make a header, a slideshow, how to input images, and more.
Join us for this challenge based Engineering course in which students will apply STEM concepts to solve problems they may encounter in the real world! Students will work individually or as teams each unit to create a solution to the unit challenge, with some guidance from the teacher. Examples of challenges that will be implemented in class include: The Bridge Challenge, Designing an earthquake-proof building, The Perched Water-Proof Pot, etc. Concluding the course, students will present their favorite work on the final day of class.
***BECAUSE OF THE HANDS ON NATURE OF THIS COURSE IT REQUIRES 1-2 PARENT ASSISTANTS, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BE AN ASSISTANT IN THIS CLASS YOUR STUDENT GETS A 50% DISCOUNT ON THEIR TEACHER FEES. To be an assistant in this class simply register yourself the same way you registered your child.
Requirements:
Bring a notebook, pencil, ruler, pen, scissors, protractor, compass, calculator.
Join us for hands on Physics. This hybrid course is an exploration of high school physics from the perspective of the real world, taught through the eyes of an engineer. We'll learn about the equations of motion, mechanics and kinematics through experimentation, learning the laws of our world through experience in order to then carry this understanding into the future. Work with the teacher to understand the laws of physics as you create reports on your experiments, and then use what you learn in the term challenge, where you will apply your physics equations in a challenge build. Bring a notebook, pencil, scientific calculator, ruler, compass, protractor, eraser, scissors. Homework will be assigned bi-weekly in the form of physics reports on the section topic. Students will have two weeks to complete their reports. Homework will be assigned bi-weekly in the form of physics reports on the section topic. Students will have two weeks to complete their reports.
Requirements:
Students must have previously taken pre-algebra, be enrolled in Algebra, or have equivalent.
Join us for this year long Engineering course in which students will apply STEM concepts to solve real world problems around the center! Depending on class size, students will work in teams or as a class to design a solution to a real world engineering problem. They will learn real world skills such as: drafting, website design, prototyping, marketing, design modeling, applied mathematics, and teamwork while they work together to develop a functional solution to their assigned problem. At the end of the year students will showcase their design as well as their inactive website in the firmly planted lobby! Students will present their work to the center and, if accepted, it may be implemented for real! Bring a notebook (or journal), pencil, ruler, scissors, pen, compass, calculator.
Homework: Varies based on the task of each student

Join us for hands on Physics. This hybrid course is an exploration of high school physics from the perspective of the real world, taught through the eyes of an engineer. We'll learn about the analysis of optics, electromagnetics, and fluids, and learn how we can apply the equations of motion to their analysis. Work with the teacher to understand the laws of physics as you create reports on your experiments, and then use what you learn in various builds possibly including, but not limited to; a hovering coil and a loop wire motor. Homework: Homework will be assigned bi-weekly in the form of physics reports on the section topic. Students will have two weeks to complete their reports. Material Required: Notebook, pencil, scientific calculator, ruler, compass, protractor, eraser Teacher Recommendation: For extra practice the teacher recommends that students find a physics textbook that they can understand which has answers in the back for extra practice. Extra practice can also be obtained online from a number of sources.
Requirements:
Algebra 1, Physics understanding of Mechanics and Motion
In this Hybrid HTML course students will learn about the basic structure of a website written in HTML or will continue in their understanding of web design. Learning through application, students will build their own HTML website from a basic, written, framework. Students will learn about the basic structure of a website, cascading style sheets, div blocks, how to make a header, a slideshow, how to input images, and more. Continuing students will be expected to advance their existing website and add more advanced concepts within their framework.
