Engineering Foundations: This is a year-long course for 9th grade students, where students are introduced to various engineering disciplines. Students will learn various technical skills related to engineering and engineering technology. This course will apply core STEM concepts with project and presentation practices, and will support students to develop skills and knowledge that can be applied across various engineering pathways. Students can look forward to designing, building and testing: Rube Goldberg Machines, Truss Bridges, Catapults, Rubber Band Race Cars, and even ROBOTS!
MVI_8289.MOVclawbot (1).MOVEnergy & Sustainability: This is a rigorous, one year course where 10th grade students will learn about how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed in order to develop more sustainable energy practices for themselves, their communities, and beyond. Throughout the course of the year, we will be studying circuitry, building science, energy generation and distribution, and renewable energy technology.
Engineering Design & Drafting: This is an 11th grade, year long course in which students deepen their understanding of the Engineering Design Process, learn new CAD software, and carry out engineering design projects using more sophisticated technology such as a laser cutter, CNC mill, 3D printer, and more. Students further develop project management skills, carrying out more complex team tasks and holding one another accountable for brainstorming, developing concepts, building prototypes, refining designs, using tools appropriately, and planning professional presentations.
AP Computer Science Principles: This course is offered to interested 12th graders. AP Computer Science Principles offers a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the underlying principles of computation. The course will introduce students to the creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computing impacts. Students will have the opportunity to use technology to address real-world problems and build relevant solutions. Together, these aspects of the course make a up a rigorous and rich u that aims to broaden participation in computer science.
Fabrication Science & Robotics Electives: These semester courses are offered off-campus on Roosevelt Island at Cornell Tech, in collaboration with NYC FIRST Robotics. Interested students may apply to take these courses, which engage students from a select group of area schools in engineering design challenges. In past classes, students have formed teams to design and build tabletop robots through NYC FIRST Robotics - in 2018 even competing in NYC Regionals and bringing home our first trophy! Students also learn to use sophisticated machinery and engage in individual design projects, such as designing and building motorized longboards, film equipment, and other devices and inventions with electrical, electronic, and mechanical components.
IMG_7155.m4vAdvanced Engineering: This course, for 12th grade students, is an introduction to the field of engineering, prepared for college freshmen engineering students. In order to fully assimilate engineering-level math and science, students must first have deep personal experience with the engineering design process. In this course students will complete a variety of projects, such as interactive "hack-o-lanterns," 3D printed keychains, smart home devices.
