STEM

STEM is a program that promotes study in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (as well as their related fields). These fields are frequently on the cutting edge of innovation and discovery all over the world in higher academics and, as such, have been noted as being necessary for the future prosperity and success of the United States as a global leader.

Overview

LEGO Building
Using a variety of Lego pieces, students will be able to recreate nearly any element from their community, including buildings and outdoor areas, to help them understand what it takes for a community to function well. This also gives students a springboard from which they can discuss what goes on around them in their community and the different roles and responsibilities for each part of their community.

LEGO Building

1 hour / week: $80 / month
Tentative Schedule: Friday 4:00 - 5:00 pm

Little Genius Engineering
Students will develop their fine motor skills through the use of smaller pieces to build more technical structures. Motorized elements will also be incorporated to add interest and help students understand how the building design affects movement and vice versa.

Robotics Engineering
The goal of this class is to implement the functional applications of robotics and technology through projects that use everyday components and simple engineering principles.
