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 [...]
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, [...]
Students will look a wide range of issues from the mundane to the worldly and argue "for" or "against" a variety of everyday items, events, and ideas. Along the way, they will research, structure, craft and execute their speeches to inform and persuade. Students will be practicing their public speaking skills, working on speaking from [...]
The class starts with the fundamentals of drawing from lines, shapes, 3D forms to using perspective, space, light and color. Campers will be drawing and painting still life, landscapes and people using digital brushes, blending tools and textures through a series of fun projects. When and Where This Class is Offered: Week 2 - July [...]
Students will learn how to build, program, and fly industry-grade drones using a professional kit and an open-source coding environment. Students will learn the mechanics of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) flight through hands-on demos; learn the process of designing and programming drone software, from engineering basic flight controls to building autonomous navigators and voice-control applications; [...]
