This summer we are offering 6 weeks of various STEAM-focused classes
in the afternoon from 1:00-4:00 pm Monday - Thursday.
These classes are open to participants ages 5-13.
Each participant will have 2 classes during the 1:00-4:00 time period.
Each class is 1 1/2 hours long.
IN ADDITION, we will be offering 4 weeks of technology and robotics-based morning classes from 9:00-12:00.
These classes are open to participants ages 7-14.
*Additional ages may be considered upon discussion with Mr. Nash.
Student drop-off for morning sessions is 8:45-9:00 am. After 9:00 am please call for admittance.
Student drop-off for afternoon sessions is 11:45-12:00.
Students attending a morning session and afternoon session are permitted to stay during the 1 hour break and should bring a lunch.
Class Descriptions
All of our classes are designed to be appropriate for boys and girls alike and provide individualized attention and scaffolding for students based on their ability level. Classes are timed to be engaging and allow students to experience something new or build on prior knowledge.
Afternoon Sessions
Learn to Code with Scratch
Can you make your name dance, create your own character and make it climb a tree! You can do all this on a computer with coding! By the end of this class, you will be ready to start creating your own video game!
Make it with Makey Makey
Makey Makey is an invention kit where you can turn ordinary tools and trinkets into board games, mousetraps, music machines, and Smart Houses, complete with buzzers, dings, and switches enhanced with the electrical circuitry of the MakeyMakey device.
Tie-Dye
Learn about different techniques and patterns used to create tie-dye. Bring in your own towels, socks, shirts and more. For those who took this class last year, different techniques and styles will be used this year.
LEGO Mini Masters
Do you think you have what it takes to be a LEGO Mini Master? Compete in LEGO based challenges in groups, individually, and against your friends. Who will build the tallest tower? A bridge that holds cars? Or the best design for a robot? Let's see who can win the title of LEGO mini master!
Let's Get Messy
In this class you will create items to take home using various mediums including ink, spray paint, and tie dye and other "messy" techniques. Prepare to have fun while getting your hands a little dirty.
Chemistry Experiments
Learn the basics of chemistry and conduct safe and fun experiments with matter, gases, and chemical reactions. You can learn how to duplicate these experiments at home for friends and family.
Junior Engineers
This class will introduce participants to the basics of the engineering design process. You will participate in design challenges and build upon your engineering skills through competitions using household items - some challenges will even be edible.
Space Engineering
Go from the basics of flight, creating paper airplanes, to creating and launching your own solid fuel rocket. We will practice making predictions and using the engineering process throughout space-themed activities during this class. Students will launch, and if recovered, take home the rockets they create.
Morning Sessions
Robotics
Robotics for students with or without prior experience. VEX IQ (plastic) robots and curriculum will be used. Students will learn about the basics of design, the engineering process, and programming. Students can take one or both classes, the curriculum will be modified based on each student's experience and ability level. Students that take both sessions will move to more advanced topics in the second class.
Art and Design through 3D Modeling and Printing
Students will get the opportunity to use TinkerCAD and Solidworks to create 3D designs. Students will then get to print their designs on our 3D printers. Students/parents will get a link to our 3D print live stream to see what is currently being created on the printer. Class size is limited. Students can take both sessions, the curriculum will be adjusted for students attending both sessions 1 and 2. (different projects)
