Our budding artists will be inspired by artists like Alexander Calder, Yahoi Kusama, Peter Carl Fabergé, Auguste Rodin, Dale Chihuly and Antoni Gaudí as they create their own 3D art. Projects include creating cardboard sculptures, dolls, papier marche eggs, clay heads, water bottle sculptures and bean mosaics. When and Where This Class is Offered: Week [...]
3D Printing Advanced is designed to further a student's 3D modeling skills using more sophisticated applications. Students will explore "soft modeling," which uses digital brushes that mold virtual clay or wireframes and "solid modeling," which uses traditional CAD methods. The class will use SketchUp and OnShape and skills gained in this class will be largely [...]
3D printing is the technology that will change the way we live! Students will learn how to use Tinkercad, a design software used for creating 3D models. Students will learn to design, sculpt, texture, arrange and render their 3D models. Students will be able to move, rotate, scale shapes in 3D and take basic shapes [...]
This class is for students who wonder about being a physician or surgeon. In this class, students will investigate how the body works by participating in hands-on activities, such as dissections and construction of physiological system maps (skeletal, nervous, circulatory, immune). Students will conduct simulated surgeries, perform biopsies, and learn how to suture. Students will [...]
Campers explore how biomedical engineers use their understanding of human body systems to design solutions to address health problems. The class begins with the story of a boy who applies his understanding of Biomedical Engineering in order to design a temporary knee brace for an injured classmate. Over the course of the class, campers collect [...]
Students of this class will be the reporters at camp where they write stories about the people at International Ivy and their activities at camp and their views about current events that week. They will write stories, take pictures and layout the content for a newspaper to be published. In addition, students will create online content like blogs and videos to capture what happened at camp. The teacher will guide students through the creative process and offer suggestions for better journalism.
Students will obtain step-by-step instructions to create and customize one painting each day. Students will learn about color theory, brush stroke and paint application. Students will study both old and modern artists, along with different styles and movements throughout the ages. When and Where This Class is Offered: Week 3 - July 8-12, 2024 9AM-12:30PM [...]
When plastic items are thrown in the trash, they can quickly pile up in landfills and create a big mess! Students use their chemical engineering skills to explore problems created by traditional plastic materials and engineer bioplastics—plastics made from plant-based materials—as a potential solution to current plastic problems. Students will explore exciting new polymers that [...]
When civil engineers design bridges and buildings, they must take into account factors like balance and motion. This unit introduces the principles behind “push” and “pull” as they explore how forces act on different structures. They’ll use what they know about balance and force as they experiment with beam, arch, and suspension bridges. Students plan, [...]
