Based on “Caine’s Arcade,” this course invites students to design and build fun and engaging arcade games made from cardboard, recycled materials and imagination. Click on the photo to access the training video.
Invention Convention sparks students’ inventive spirit! Participants are challenged to identify a need or solve a problem using the same procedure an inventor would follow! Click on the photo to access the training video.
Great ELA Project Based Learning or Academy Experience!Students live the experience of entrepreneurship during this engaging course where the value of innovation, hard work, and doing good in their community is learned. Click on the photo to access the training video.
Solve mysteries using the science of forensics in this year’s Science Scrimmage. Students will observe trace evidence, investigate fingerprinting, extract DNA, create transfer patterns, and examine fiber and handwriting evidence to master problem solving like a true crime scene investigator.
Students will explore and study the positive messages conveyed through art and music in our culture and develop their own thoughts and ability to become the powerful voice of social justice in their own art work.
Extend the joy of science in the kitchen with an array of Kitchen Chem. lessons. The chemistry, biology and simple life science exploration will be emphasized throughout this course. Join all the fun of hands-on kitchen science as mini "Chopped" competitions engage students in the creative aspect of food preparation as well! Kitchen Chem. is always a hit at X-STREAM games.
Using Circuit Cubes by Tenka Labs, students will learn about simple and complex circuits. Through exploration of the Circuit Cubes, and specific weekly engineering challenges, students will be challenged to apply circuitry lessons by making simple robots that can preform many tasks.
Explore design, engineering, and visual art through fashion design! Use innovative patterns, color, and the design process to solve fashion objectives in the weekly challenges. Students work individually and collaboratively to meet challenge objectives.
Students will learn the basics and manage a virtual portfolio of $10,ooo with real time stock market trading and tracking through the TD Stock Market Simulator. Elements of math, economics, marketing, technology and U.S. history are taught so students can knowledgeably build an investment empire!
STREAM Sprouts Creation
STREAM Sprouts Creation
The time- honored faith story of creation is expanded across the core curriculum in this engaging, new "stemified" course. The water cycle, anatomy of seeds, and the solar system along with many other science extensions are explored and supported by power point and new digital resources. This is a fabulous interdisciplinary unit rooted in Genesis.
Explore the science behind how messages of sound, smell taste, touch and sight are communicated through the body. Go on unusual adventures and enjoy writing about sensory experiences across the curriculum. This is a deep dive into a grand exploration of all our true superpowers- the five senses!
Looking for a way to engage students in storytelling that would pull in all the elements of STREAM? Students select a story sequence and engineer silhouettes to bring the story to life. They dabble in the engineering cycle, art techniques, and small group narrations. Performances take place with the culminating effort being the class viewing of the silhouette stories after videotaping. Although this course will use Biblical stories it can lend itself to cross curricular use particularly in Social Studies and Literature. Dive into a whole new way of bringing stories alive.
PEAP-Primary Engineering Adventures Program
Familiar and timeless story characters take center stage for PEAP! Our youngest learners will adapt the Engineering Design Process to meet the needs of their favorite literature friends! Students will generate ideas, build, and test solutions collaboratively to help their favorite characters solve a problem.
Make physics come alive! Students will research the history of rollercoasters, and the physics that they employ. They will test run computer generated coasters, and ultimately design and build there own working marble roller coaster.
Bring abstract concepts to life with a fun, hands on approach that really engages students. LEGO bricks turn numbers, words, and ideas into real models that can be touched, described, and innovated across all subject areas. Each week, the students will undertake a design challenge connected to topics taught at the primary level in ELA, Science, S.S., Religion, or Math utilizing LEGO® bricks. They will also have opportunities to present and share, strengthening their presentation skills!
For someone who has never participated in theatre before, at first glance performing can be intimidating. However, acting is something that everyone has learned at a very young age. Whether it be reading a book using character voices, or teaching a new skill to someone, when you are completing these tasks, you are preforming.
Let your creative side shine as we dabble in the many methods of painting, investigate the different kinds of paint, and explore the Science involved. You will be introduced to famous artists and their type of painting, and connect the art of painting to Literature, Religion, and much, much more!
Children will explore the science of bubbles and engage in a variety of activities that connect to Art, Math, ELA, Writing, Religion, and Engineering! A range of activities will allow investigation, design, and creativity for our youngest learners. We hope that it will have them leaving the course thinking: “I didn’t know Bubbles and learning could be so much fun!” Come join us as this course will surely be a blast ending with a Bubble Bash!
