Course info
Class Duration: 105 minutes
Structure: Scratch (60 min) and Hands-on Science (45 min)
Class Size: 5-10 Students
Ratio (Students to Teachers): 6:1
Students make Intermediate-level computer games with Scratch applying more game features, like designing different levels, using variables like time, life, and more complicated tasks with fewer instructions. The hands-on science part is integrating multiple science concepts into one project.
Advanced Lego Robotics and Engineering
There are lots of teamwork and working with different construction materials that needs fine motor skills. The class required every students to develop more advanced explanatory skills, by encouraging the students to discuss and negotiate within the group and present their projects in front of the class. The topics of hands on science are more engineering based like making a pinball machine to learn about energy transfers and Newton 2, and 3 rd laws, air plane launcher, and rockets and more!
