This Project Lead the Way course provides project-based learning using a hands-on approach that relates technology to students’ daily lives. Projects will include designing and building a robot, building a wind turbine prototype, and creating a habitat for ice cube penguins. Additional areas of study will include energy and the environment, alternative power, and renewable energy resources. Course cost is $10.00.
This course engages students in activities that not only build knowledge and skills in areas including computer science, 3D modeling, engineering, and biomedical science, but also empower students to develop essential skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance. Students discover the design process and develop an understanding of the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. They are then challenged and empowered to use and apply what they’ve learned throughout the course to design solutions to authentic real world problems. Course cost is $10.00.
This class is for students who like to use their hands and minds to build and create things; it challenges them to apply their creativity and technical ability. Following the process of research and design, students construct projects such as CO2 car design and creation using technology and hand and power tools. Safety, individualized work, and problem solving will be emphasized. Course cost is $15.00. Extra projects may be completed at an additional cost.
